Statement on New Hampshire Primary Results
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement on the results of the Republican primary in New Hampshire.

The Employment Situation in December
Today’s employment report provides further evidence that the economy is continuing to heal from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. It is critical that we continue the economic policies that are helping us to dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the recession that began at the end of 2007. Most importantly, we need to extend the payroll tax cut and continue to provide emergency unemployment benefits through the end of this year, and take other steps the President has proposed in the American Jobs Act.
