Jim Himes Honored for Fiscal Responsibility

Congressman Himes recognized for work on fiscal responsibility and bi-partisan cooperation

 

Congressman Jim Himes was awarded the 2012 Paul E. Tsongas Economic Patriot Award by the non-partisan Concord Coalition for his work on fiscal responsibility and support of the bi-partisan Simpson-Bowles plan to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion in a responsible way.

Called a hero by USA Today for joining the 37 other Republican and Democrat House members known as the  “Brave 38” also honored, Jim has once again proven his commitment to lowering the deficit and willingness to work “across the aisle” to address the long-term challenges facing America.
