from the Office of Senator Mitch McConnell
Monday, January 26, 2009
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Monday regarding his vote against the confirmation of Timothy Geithner to be Secretary of the Treasury:
“I have heard from Kentuckians over the last several days on the nomination of Timothy Geithner, and, I want to reassure them that I heard their concerns. While it is the prerogative of the President to choose his cabinet, I can’t, in good conscience, vote to confirm Mr. Geithner given the questions that still remain following his committee hearing.”
