Rep. Estes Releases Statement on Articles of Impeachment

Washington, December 10, 2019 | Greg Steele (202-225-6216)
WASHINGTON—Congressman Ron Estes (R-KS) released the following statement after Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats announced two articles of impeachment today.

"House Democrats have wanted to draft articles of impeachment since the day President Trump was sworn-in and today filled in the blanks with unfounded accusations of abuse of power and obstruction. Despite a lack of evidence, an unfair process and no bipartisan support, House Democrats have barreled toward impeachment, ignoring or delaying key priorities along the way. While Speaker Pelosi may want to use measures like passing the USMCA to distract the American people, the fact remains that House Democrats are determined to overturn the 2016 election not based on evidence, but on their disdain for President Trump. I do not support these articles and hope many of my colleagues across the aisle will buck their party bosses and help us get back to work for the American people."

Ron Estes is a 5th generation Kansan and represents Kansas’ 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He serves on the House Committee on Ways and Means.
