Over the weekend, Congressman Tom Cole joined several House Republicans on a trip to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Cole is the chairman of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, and says he signaled his support in helping implement Trump’s “America First” policies.
“Visionary leadership will put the nation back on track. Sitting beside President Trump this weekend, our conversation centered on conservative values to renew American greatness. We engaged on spending priorities, cutting waste, reconciliation plans, and the debt ceiling. I made clear of my readiness to partner with the incoming President and his administration to advance the America First agenda, which begins with securing our borders and revitalizing pro-growth economic policies.
“It was a powerful and unifying start. I trust in President Trump’s direction and am grateful for his time. We have set a foundation to further a strong working relationship rooted in forging a safer and more prosperous future for all Americans,” said Cole.
