Theodore C. Jameson for Midwest Senate

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Congressman Theodore C. Jameson appointed United States Senator Chastity Roberts of Pennsylvania to the Vice-Chair of the Democratic Leadership Council this morning in front of reporters. The official statement can be found below.

“Friends, I have had a tough time choosing a Vice-Chair because I have such high expectations as Chairman to make sure I pick someone who is qualified, experienced, and ready to lead when and if the time comes. There were many strong candidates for the position of Vice-Chair, but no one stood out quite like Chastity Roberts. A newly appointed Senator from Pennsylvania, she holds the ideas of a true New Democrat quite near to her heart and has shown true qualities of leadership so far in the Senate. She is dedicated to making the lives of every American Man, Woman, and Child the best they can be and has proved that through her actions so far. I know that, together, her and I will work with the fellow members of the Democratic Leadership Council to achieve our goals and make even the most unrealistic American Dreams come true.”

“It is an honor and a privilege to serve this group, the Democratic Leadership Council, as their next Chairman for the 2017-2018 Session. For those who are unaware, my name is Theodore C. Jameson and I represent the First District of Missouri in the House of Representatives. As a new session begins, we have prepared a list of session goals for the 2017-2018 Session in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Regional Legislatures. As Chairman, it is my duty to present these session goals to the Public and make sure that we maintain our consistency as we achieve these goals. It will not be an easy path to achieve all these goals, but I am confident in our ability as a group that we can and will achieve these goals. Our goals over this session consist of solving the energy crisis, strengthening homeland security, ensuring workers rights, repairing the broken economy, strengthening American families, and giving students the gift of universal access to a higher education. We will not achieve these goals without the help of our friends in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the several Regions and on behalf of the leadership of the Democratic Leadership Council, I thank everyone for their continued support. I hope this session will be a successful one and we will achieve accomplishing the goals on this list, to ensure the true American Dream in every man, woman, and child in America.”
