U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Reaction To 2014 Midterm Elections

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gregory W. Meeks released the following statement regarding the 2014 midterm elections:

“While the Republicans had an overwhelming victory during yesterday's midterm elections, I agree with President Obama that we must continue to focus on governing and passing laws that move our country in the right direction. It's critical now more than ever that we put the needs of the American people over partisanship. The progress we have made is undeniable – unemployment rate is on a steady decline, our economy is well on its way to full recovery, and more Americans have access to affordable, quality healthcare. To that end, I look forward to working with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle on issues that are pertinent to the American people such as creating more jobs, investing in infrastructure, and expanding access to affordable higher education.” [End]
