Pelosi Statement on Resignation of Congressman Tom DeLay

Washington, D.C.-- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the resignation of Congressman Tom DeLay:

"Mr. DeLay's departure from Congress is one piece of the changes needed to end the Republican culture of corruption. This Republican corruption continues to cost the American people at the pharmacy, at the gas pump, and in their home energy bills.

"For more than a decade, every Republican in the House enabled and benefited from their culture of corruption and they must be held accountable.

"We need a new direction that returns the people's house to the American people. Democrats again insist the Ethics Committee do its job and investigate corruption in the House."
