Washington, D.C.- Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the results of the 2016 election:
"I congratulate Donald Trump on his election, and I congratulate all Republicans who won a sweeping, historic victory yesterday in the United States Senate and House of Representatives and across America, including my fellow Arkansans. But yesterday was not a Republican victory; it was an American victory. The American people sent a clear message that they want change in Washington and they want a government that serves them and puts the American nation first. Because we are one nation, bound in the words of President Lincoln by "the mystic chords of memory," which unite us across the ages, across the land, across all lesser divides. I look forward to working together with President-elect Trump, Republicans and Democrats alike in the Congress, and all my fellow citizens to make America great again."
