WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – today released the following statement on the Senate filibuster:

"When Sen. Schumer proposed eliminating the filibuster, I opposed that idea, and my views on the importance of the filibuster have not changed. The filibuster provides senators – even when in the minority – the ability to stop bad policies and forces us to find common ground to better serve our constituents.”
