Renee Receives Committee Assignment Recommendations

by on December 17, 2010 in Campaign Announcements

Dunn, NC─ Congresswoman-Elect Renee Ellmers released the following statement today:

“I am very pleased and honored to announce I have been recommended to serve on the Agriculture, Small Business and Foreign Affairs committees in the 112th Congress. These assignments will put me in a unique position to work on issues particularly important to the constituents of the Second District.”

Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) contacted Ms. Ellmers to let her know that the House Steering Committee had recommended her for the three committee assignments. Ms. Ellmers will be sworn in as the Representative for North Carolina’s Second Congressional District on January 5, 2011.

North Carolina’s Second District has a rich agricultural history and is home to many farmers. It is also home to many active members of the military stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC. The seats on the Agriculture and Foreign Affairs Committees are particularly important to those communities. The Small Business Committee addresses a wide range of diverse issues including those related to health care, contracting and technology, rural areas and trade.

“I am delighted that the Steering Committee has made these recommendations. I look forward to getting to work on these three very important committees to address the concerns of the farmers, small business owners, men and women of the armed forces, the constituents of the Second District and the state of North Carolina,” Ellmers said.

Statement Regarding Results of Canvass

by on November 12, 2010 in Campaign Announcements

We are pleased that the canvass has produced the result we were confident all along that it would. We don’t know yet whether or not Congressman Etheridge will go forward with a call for a recount, but we have not found anywhere in North Carolina history that a lead this large has ever been overturned as a result of a recount. At this point our only concern over the prospect of a recount is the cost to the taxpayers of North Carolina. We will wait and see what Congressman Etheridge decides to do, but at the same time we are going forward in preparation to serve the people of the Second Congressional District.
