Upton Statement on Hoogendyk Announcement

ST. JOSEPH, MI – Congressman Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph) made the following statement in response to this afternoon’s announcement: “I have been fighting to create jobs, dismantle Obamacare, and cut government waste that harms our Southwest Michigan economy. We continue to pass legislation in the Energy and Commerce Committee that I chair and again on the House floor that focuses on reducing the deficit and removing job-stifling regulations. In fact, Jack Hoogendyk called me just before Labor Day and told me I was doing a good job and he wasn’t running against me. He told that to several other community leaders as well. My focus on job creation and commonsense reforms hasn't changed, but apparently Jack's view has.”
