Statement on Simpson op-ed

Walt Minnick - Right for Idaho

February 06, 2010

Congressman Walt Minnick (D-Idaho) issued the following statement about an op-ed released today by fellow Congressman Mike Simpson (R-Idaho):

“I want to publicly thank Congressman Mike Simpson for his words today about the need for a new approach in Congress. Our nation can more productively sort through difficult issues if we take the kinds of common-sense steps he outlines, steps I very much agree with and have advocated for during my time in Congress. As Congressman Simpson wrote, no party has all the answers. Instead, the answers rest within a new approach, one where all members of Congress can work together in the kind of common-sense, bipartisan way that I have been fortunate to develop with my friend and colleague from Idaho.”
