Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) made the following remarks today on the House floor congratulating President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President-elect Mike Pence and the American people on a historic victory at the ballot box:

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President-elect Mike Pence – but most importantly – the American people on a historic victory at the ballot box. Make no mistake; this election was a resounding rejection of the status-quo in Washington – a revolution at the ballot box.

“The American people are sick and tired of open borders, runaway federal agencies, unconstitutional executive orders, a weakened foreign policy, a sluggish economy and a federal government that simply no longer listens to them. Now – under President-elect Trump and a Republican Congress – we have the opportunity to change that and achieve bold, new steps that will put America on a path to a more secure and prosperous country.

“I look forward to working closely with the Trump-Pence Administration to help advance these goals and a conservative agenda that rebuilds our military, secures our border, ends the failed Obamacare experiment, creates jobs and protects the unborn.  Mr. Speaker, the American people have spoken loud and clear – and it’s now time we turn this historic moment into action.”
