It’s been the honor of a lifetime to represent Missouri in Congress.
What we do here is more important than who we are. I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished together and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve.
Thank you.

1/1: It seems especially fitting to remember former Senator Jon Kyl on Constitution Day.
Jon had a deep respect for the Constitution and the freedoms it protects. He was also someone who knew how to get things done. Thoughtful, principled and effective, Jon never lost sight of

“The Congress will miss Steny Hoyer. He cared about the Congress and he cared about the members and their families. For 25 years I’ve counted him one of my closest friends. During the first decade of that friendship Steny was the Democratic Whip and...
...I was the Republican Whip. We seldom voted the same way, unless the vote was 400 to not very many but we talked every day. And on those days when something really hard had to be done we over and over again figured out how to make it possible for enough Republicans and...
...enough Democrats to be there on the final vote.”
“Abby and I look forward to more time with Steny and Elaine and I know they’re looking forward to more time with each other.” #Leadership #Congress #StenyHoyer
Proud to introduce @ArielleRoth at her @SenateCommerce nomination hearing today to be the next Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information. Arielle is incredibly capable and will be a great leader for this important agency. Congrats to her and her family!
Congratulations to @GaryAndres on his nomination to be Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services. I have worked closely with multiple HHS Secretaries and their staff and know the opportunity they have for meaningful impact on research that can save lives. (1/3)
I have also worked with Gary during his time as staff director at the Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and House Budget Committees. Gary brings the right temperament and experience to this position to continue finding solutions without compromising positive outcomes. (2/3)
The agency, the community, and the administration will benefit from having @GaryAndres serve as the Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services. (3/3)
Congratulations to @ArielleRoth on her nomination to lead NTIA. Arielle did a great job as telecom leader on my Senate team & went on to learn even more working for @SenTedCruz on the Commerce Cmte. She's incredibly capable & will be a great leader for this important agency.
Jean Carnahan worked hard for Missouri. She was a full partner with her husband, Mel. She was a dedicated advocate in her own right as First Lady, and as a United States Senator.
Blaine Luetkemeyer is a great friend and has been a great and effective member of the Congress representing Missouri. Blaine was one of the people I always turned to when something needed to get done for our state. @RepBlaine
Ron Richard was an extraordinary leader. His service as both Speaker of the House and President Pro Tem of the Missouri Senate was unmatched.
I was lucky to serve with @SenatorCardin in both the House and Senate. He was and is admired and respected on both sides of the Capitol. Whether it's tax issues or foreign policy, he is always an important part of the debate.
.@SenStabenow is an incredibly effective legislator and a really good friend. We have worked together for more than a decade in the effort to treat mental health like all other health and made great progress because of her determination and dedication.
We passed our first bill in the House together 26 years ago and achieved one of our most important goals by taking the Excellence in Mental Health program nationwide under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act last year.
