WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ways and Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement on the retirement of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), Republican Leader of the Subcommittee on Health:

“As a thoughtful, hardworking and invaluable leader on tax reform, international trade and health care, Devin Nunes will be sorely missed. He’s dedicated his career on the Ways and Means Committee to developing smart, innovative solutions for the biggest challenges facing our nation in the 21st Century. 

“It has been an honor to serve with him, and while I’m sad to see my friend go I know he is pursuing a rare opportunity to bring new and needed competition to the social media sphere that will expand free speech and serve the public in a big way. Congratulations, Devin.”
