East Texas Congressman Meets with the President-Elect

WASHINGTON – Texas Congressman Jeb Hensarling, whose district covers some East Texas counties, had a meeting with President Elect Donald Trump. Hensarling said the two had a great conversation. He said he left the meeting energized by Trump’s vision to make America great again. In a news releases, he said the “President-elect understands that our economy is not working for working Americans and is nowhere near to reaching its full potential. He is offering a bold, ambitious and forward-looking plan to create a dynamic and booming economy with more jobs, higher wages and greater opportunities for all the people of our country.” Some say Trump may be eyeing Hensarling for a cabinet position. He currently chairs the House Financial Services Committee.
