WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) today released the following statement after being elected by Senate Republicans to serve as the Assistant Majority Leader for the 119th Congress.

“I want to thank the people of Wyoming for their support and for allowing me to continue serving our state in the United States Senate. I want to thank my Republican colleagues for their confidence and their vote today. It is my honor to serve them as Assistant Majority Leader.

“We have an extraordinary opportunity in front of us. Voters spoke loudly. It is our job to listen and to lead on their behalf. Our agenda will be bold.

“With this new Republican Majority and President Trump, we will deliver a new direction for the American people.”
