Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the nomination of Eddie Joe Williams as Federal Representative to the Southern States Energy Board:

"This is a very good choice. Eddie Joe Williams has extensive experience in both the private and public sector. He understands protecting the environment and developing American energy aren't mutually exclusive goals; in fact, they can support each other. And with his unique mix of talents and skills, I believe he will be able to turn that vision into a reality. I wish State Senator Williams all the best in his new position, and I thank him and his family for accepting the call to serve."
