Westerman on Reagan: "Definition of What it Means to be a Statesman"

Statement

Congressman Bruce Westerman issued the following statement Friday (February 6) commemorating the birthday of former President Ronald Reagan on what would have been his 104th birthday.

"Today we remember our nation's 40th president, the man who defined what it means to be a conservative in the modern era. But Ronald Reagan was more than a great president who stood for conservative principals and won the Cold War. He was a loving father, an adoring husband and the man who wrote the definition of what it means to be a statesman. And he shaped who I am politically and ideologically. As we mark his birthday, we look back on a time of growth, prosperity and greatness and I join my fellow Arkansans in working to advance his legacy and bring America back to those conservative governing principals during Reagan's eight years in the White House."
