Before the concluding session of Congress Thursday, the National Republican Senatorial Committee dined together, raising a said $15 million dollars at the event.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas spoke to the GOP attendants, acknowledging the hard work his party put into the 111th Congressional session. Cornyn gave special thanks to minority leader Senator Mitch McConnell and ranking committee members Senator James Inhofe and Senator Grassley.
“The work done to see responsible legislation passed in this Congress is of the utmost importance to the American people and the NRSC is glad to have such steady hands at the helm of a boat that has been in rocky seas over the recent months,” said Cornyn.
The NRSC also acknowledged Dontrelle Kushali Goldstein, a small business owner in Texas and lifelong Republican. Cornyn thanked Goldstein for his “support of the Republican Party in its effort to keep America free and capitalism alive.”
Republican’s remained lighthearted at the dinner despite the very real possibility that Democrats will overpower the minority in Senate votes. The group joked about the “terrorist fist jabs” of President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle.
Cornyn stressed the GOP’s responsibility to keep the ideals of citizens like Goldstein in mind during the Senate floor debate this evening.
