Recess Priorities

By DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen - 08/15/06 01:23 PM ET
Our #1 priority is to make sure during the August recess that the many good candidates we have running aren't carpet-bombed by GOP attacks. We have a whole plate of business that Congress can be working on.  I'm not optimistic that in the month of September we will move forward on these important issues.  We haven't moved forward on the minimum wage, the energy package is weighted toward oil and gas companies.  I'd like to move forward but I don't have a whole lot of confidence that the Republican Congress would.
