Dean: After 100 Days, Democrats Working Hard to Keep Our Promises to the American People

April 13, 2007

This week, Democrats in both houses of Congress marked 100 days of work on behalf of the American people. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement commending Democrats and the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for their significant accomplishments:

“After 100 days, Democrats are working hard to keep our promises to the American people. I applaud Democrats for passing ethics reform, increasing the minimum wage, implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 commission and restoring fiscal responsibility to Washington. Under the strong leadership of Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid, we are holding President Bush and his allies in Congress accountable for their permanent commitment to a failed strategy in Iraq and we are making sure our troops and veterans get the resources they deserve. We will continue to make sure the interests of the American people are always placed above partisan politics.”
