Schatz Statement On Senate Democratic Leadership Election

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) released the following statement.

“Senate Democrats had historic victories last week, thanks to our talented candidates and the hard work of our caucus, led by Senator Schumer. And it was not the first time he has led this caucus back to the majority.

“The American people sent a clear message: they want us to lower costs, end a needless war, and fight corruption. Our caucus has the right to have a conversation about the path ahead, but we have no time to waste. We must move quickly to vote, unify, and get to work. I endorse Senator Schumer for leader and will be voting for him in the caucus election.”
