WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement following
Senator Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation hearing:
“Senator Mullin has served
our country with distinction, from a decade in the United States House of
Representatives to his service in the Senate,” said Chairman Gruters.
“Throughout his time in Congress, he has been a strong advocate for border
security and immigration enforcement, backing key legislation like the Laken
Riley Act, the SAVE America Act, and the Working Families Tax Cuts. Along with
his commitment to secure our homeland, Senator Mullin plans to ‘bring peace of
mind and confidence to the agency,’ building on President Trump’s America First
immigration policies. Senator Mullin has represented Oklahoma with
integrity and will bring that same leadership to securing our border, stopping
the flow of illegal drugs, and holding illegal aliens accountable for their
crimes.”
