Ryan Praises Tommy Thompson’s Dedicated Service

JANESVILLE – First District Congressman Paul Ryan today issued the following statement about the resignation of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy G. Thompson:

 “Tommy Thompson has built a remarkable record of public service.  Not only will he go down in history as Wisconsin’s greatest governor, but he has led the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through a difficult and dynamic time of positive changes.  He led the effort to improve Medicare.  He has prepared our nation for chemical and biological terrorist threats.  And he has worked tirelessly to improve the health and welfare of the American people.  On a personal note, Tommy has been my greatest mentor. Of all things, he taught me that public service is about helping people reach their potential.  He is a man of passion, big ideas, and boundless enthusiasm.  Wisconsin welcomes Tommy home.”
