Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made the following comments regarding President Barack Obama's final State of the Union speech:

"For the past seven years, the Obama administration has systematically eroded the Constitutional freedoms of the American people while failing to secure our borders and protect our country from the growing threat of terrorism.

The House Freedom Caucus released the following statement ahead of the President's State of the Union remarks:

"The Obama administration has repeatedly undermined the Constitution and rule of law. They have targeted Americans' First Amendment freedoms through the IRS‎, religious liberty through Obamacare, and Second Amendment rights through executive actions. Instead of attacking Americans' liberties, the President should work with Congress to secure our borders and protect the country from terrorism. 

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) praised the Internal Revenue Service's decision today to withdraw its unpopular donation substantiation proposal. The proposal was touted as an alternate way for organizations to voluntarily prove charitable donations. It drew significant criticism though over fears that, although the new method was voluntary, it would become mandatory.

Of the decision Rep. Jordan said:

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) questioned Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik from the U.S. Department of Justice during a hearing today before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform about the rate and quality of document production by federal agencies, and about the IRS targeting scandal.

Rep. Jordan questioned Kadzik about Justice Department delays in delivering requested documents to the Oversight committee, and also about the Justice Department's investigation of the IRS and its decision to not prosecute anyone for its targeting of conservative organizations.

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made the following statement regarding today's vote on a reconciliation bill that would repeal significant portions of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, and also stop federal funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers:

"Since 2010, Republicans have told the American people that we heard their frustration over Obamacare and would repeal this terrible law. Today we took the first step toward finally repealing Obamacare.

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made the following comments regarding the passing of former Congressman Mike Oxley, who previously represented Ohio's Fourth District:

"I was saddened to learn of Mike Oxley's passing after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was a friend, a mentor, and one of the finest public servants I've ever met. From the FBI, to the state legislature, to serving with distinction for 25 years as Fourth District Congressman, he reached pinnacles of power, but he never lost touch with the common sense values he learned growing up in Findlay.

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will speak at the American Conservative Union's annual Conservative Political Action Conference, held March 2-5, 2016, at the Gaylord Hotel National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.
