“We’ll look forward to legislation that will give us the tools to roll back the avalanche of red tape and regulation that’s been stifling American jobs and growth.”
The former Indiana governor added that President-elect Trump “has a very clear message to Capitol Hill, and that is, it’s time to get to work.”
“It’s time to keep our word to the American people to make this country great again, make it prosperous again, and we look forward to being on Capitol Hill tomorrow.”
