WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Family
Research Council Action President Tony
Perkins, a former Louisiana
legislator, released the following statement congratulating
John Kennedy on his election to
become Louisiana's next U.S.
Senator and also State Representative Mike
Johnson on his election to Congress to represent
Louisiana's 4th congressional
district:
"I am grateful that Louisianans voted overwhelmingly to send
Mike Johnson and John Kennedy to Congress.
"After 8 years under the Obama administration, our freedoms have
never been more endangered. With leaders in Congress like
Mike Johnson and John Kennedy, we now have an opportunity to make
freedom mean something again.
"I'm excited that Mike Johnson
will represent Louisiana in
Congress. I've seen first hand Mike's consistent commitment to the
tenets that have made our state and our nation great: faith, family
and freedom. In Congress, I know he will be a champion for
religious liberty just as he was in the state legislature. Mike has
demonstrated not only a deep understanding of the U.S. Constitution
but also a commitment to upholding and defending it.
"I congratulate John Kennedy for
winning his race and I'm confident that he will stand for faith,
family, and freedom in the U.S. Senate. John has committed to not
just talking about the important issues, but actually addressing
them. I know John will work to confirm justices who will respect
the Constitution and not legislate from the bench. He will be an
advocate for the unborn, our individual liberties, and for family
values.
"I look forward to working with both Mike and John to impact
Louisiana and our great country,"
concluded Perkins.
