“My congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator John Thune, and President Donald
Trump for their success in getting the government re-opened today, declared GOP
Congressional candidate Jim Oberweis. “They achieved this victory for the American people
while holding the line against the Democrat’s plan to saddle us with $1.5 trillion in new
debt…debt Democrats planned to use trying to buy their re-elections in 2026. Their continued
willingness to mortgage our children’s future tomorrow for the sake of their political power
today has got to end!”
“The House and Senate’s actions today bring honor to their institutions,” said Oberweis. “I am
running to become part of the President’s team in Congress who can be depended upon to
deliver reliable votes based on conviction, financial responsibility, and the best interests of the
people I represent.
”
Below is the full statement issued this afternoon by Sen. Oberweis regarding today’s vote:
**********
“Democrats seem to be in a furious meltdown over Senator Schumer deciding he’s no match for
our ‘Art-of-the-Deal’ President. Schumer threw-in his towel after inflicting a lot of unnecessary
pain on the very low-to-middle income voters Democrats profess to represent.
“But experience has taught me if Democrats are livid, something must be going well for
America!
