Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) issued the following statement regarding Congressman Steve Austria’s (R-Beavercreek) retirement announcement:

“Serving alongside Congressman Austria, I’ve come to know Steve as a friend, a leader, and an advocate for Ohio families and small businesses. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, Congressman Austria has worked tirelessly to strengthen the critical missions at Wright-Patt and the Springfield Air National Guard Base while playing an important role in the committee’s efforts to cut wasteful Washington spending.

“I know this was a very difficult decision for Steve with so much still to be done to get our economy back on track; no one is happy to see Ohio losing two members of Congress. I hope to work with Congressman Austria to get to know Clark County over the next year, and if re-elected, will strive to represent its people in the same fine manner that Steve has.”
