Today Congresswoman Renee Ellmers released the following statement regarding her vote on H.R. 2 -- Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act:

"Some people might find it unusual that a politician would follow through on a pledge, but I ran for Congress on a simple platform – to cut spending, cut taxes and repeal Obamacare.  With one of my first votes in the 112th Congress I will keep my promise and vote to repeal it.  No matter how much the Democrats wish to attack me for it, I am following through on a pledge that obviously resonated with the voters."
