Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-Hot Springs) today issued the following statement on the start of the 90th Arkansas General Assembly:

"I want to congratulate my former colleagues in the Arkansas House and Senate on the start of the 90th General Assembly. As this new year and new session begins, the state legislature is working for the same causes I am fighting for in Washington -- less hassle from government and more freedom for the hardworking taxpayers we represent.

"As the new and returning representatives and senators begin the work their constituents sent them to Little Rock to complete, I commit myself to doing my part in Washington to expand federalism by loosening the ties that bind my friends in the legislature so they can successfully govern our state free from overly burdensome regulation by the federal government."

Congressman Westerman served in the General Assembly from 2011-2014, serving as the House Minority Leader in 2012 and as the House Majority Leader in 2013 -- the first Republican House Majority Leader since Reconstruction.
