Washington - Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) released the following statement on the retirement of Representative Jason Saine from the North Carolina General Assembly:

“Jason has been a friend since college. I’ve watched him master state legislative politics and emerge as one of the most influential members of the State House over the last decade. Having chaired both the Finance and Appropriations Committees, his mark on public policy in North Carolina will continue for years to come. It has been my honor to call him my State Representative as one of his Lincoln County Constituents. I wish Jason, Kathryn, and Jackson all the best as they move to their next chapter.”
