WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) announced today that he has promoted Liz Eddy to serve as his Press Secretary. Liz will be replacing Carmen Terry who has accepted a position working for Congressman John Carter as his Communications Director.
"I am pleased to promote Liz Eddy to the position of press secretary," Congressman Cole said. "Liz is a hard-worker and I have every confidence that she will be able to excel. Our office is fortunate to have her in this critical position," Cole added.
"I rise to oppose this bill because it's the wrong debate at the wrong place at the wrong time, and most importantly, it sends the wrong message.
"It's the wrong debate because it serves no useful purpose. This bill will never become law. If it passes, it will be vetoed and it will be sustained. We are wasting the time of trying the patience of the American people for no useful purpose.
