Smucker Statement on Proposed Changes to Office of Congressional Ethics
Statement
Issues: Government Operations
"I opposed the change to the independent Office of Congressional Ethics brought forth by my colleagues last night. While our system does need reforms, I would have preferred to have this debate in a more open and transparent manner.
"Additionally, I will support the rules package as a whole. It provides for meaningful healthcare reform, protecting social security, and allows us to move forward on simplifying our tax code to create more jobs and grow our economy."
