Washington, D.C. – Senator Ron Johnson (WI) made the following statement regarding his decision to run for Vice-Chair of the Republican Conference:

“I came to Washington because I believe that business as usual is bankrupting America, and it has to stop. Every day I ask myself ‘what can I do to be effective – to have an impact?’ The position of Vice-Chair of the Republican Conference would be an important opportunity to address our fiscal crisis. As Vice-Chair, I would seek to communicate how urgent the problem is and work with the Republican Conference to develop real solutions.”
