Toomey’s Reaction to President Trump’s Inauguration

January 20, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa) issued the following statement regarding President Trump's inauguration and address.

"My wife Kris and I wanted our older two children to witness this celebration of our democracy. We brought Bridget and Patrick to the west front of the Capitol Building to see history first hand. I hope the sight of the three branches of our government, both parties, standing together will teach them - and remind us all - that we were sent here to do the people's work, to solve the problems we face, and to leave to our children a stronger, safer, more prosperous nation.

"On a number of issues, President Trump and I agree - the need for tax reform, regulatory roll back, and a strong American leadership role in the world. I am enthusiastically looking forward to working with the new president and colleagues on both sides of the aisle to make major progress on these and other important issues."
