‘ is going to miss Senator Coats’ expertise on economic and national security issues, and I’m going to miss his wise counsel and trusted friendship here in the Senate.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement today on the announcement by Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana that he will not seek re-election in 2016:
“Dan Coats is one of the most accomplished public servants of his generation: Congressman, Senator, Ambassador, and then Senator again. While these titles are surely impressive, they also tell only a part of what this kind and humble Hoosier has been able to achieve. Washington is going to miss Senator Coats’ expertise on economic and national security issues, and I’m going to miss his wise counsel and trusted friendship here in the Senate.”
