WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Bipartisan Working Group announced that Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) will serve as a new co-chairman of the organization along with current Co-Chair Jim Renacci (R-OH). The Bipartisan Working Group was founded in 2011 and includes an even number of Democrat and Republican members. They meet once a week to discuss legislation and how they can work together on issues to make Congress more effective for the American people.
“I’m honored to serve as co-chair with Representative Renacci,” said Kilmer. “Democrats and Republicans aren’t always going to agree, but now more than ever we need to give folks the opportunity to engage in a respectful and productive dialogue. I’m proud to be part of a group that brings people together to talk about the big issues impacting Americans. I look forward to helping pushing Congress to get back on track by following our approach.”---from Congressman Kilmer's webpage dated 1.9.17
