Today, Congressman Huizenga (MI-02) released the following statement after being sworn in to represent Michigan's Second Congressional District in the 114th Congress: 

"I am honored to have the privilege of representing West Michigan in the United States House of Representatives.  With both the House and Senate under Republican leadership, the 114^th Congress has the opportunity to advance a conservative agenda that promotes private sector job creation, makes commonsense reforms to the drivers of our nation’s debt, and rolls back federal government interference in the day to day lives of Americans across the country.  

“This week, the House begins the legislative session by focusing on jobs and will consider measures to build the Keystone Pipeline, eliminate an ObamaCare provision that penalizes small businesses for hiring our nation’s veterans, and restore the traditional 40-hour definition of full-time employment.  

“Moving forward, a Republican-led Congress can not only provide a unified check to President Obama’s out of touch agenda, but also deliver commonsense conservative solutions to make our economy stronger.  Americans deserve a more efficient and effective government than what they have had under Democrat-controlled Washington and I believe a Republican-led Congress can deliver that.”
