Washington,
D.C. — TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation
economy CEOs and senior executives, today responded to Senator Orrin Hatch’s
(R-UT) announcement that he will retire at the end of the 115th Congress. The following statement can be attributed to
Linda Moore, President and CEO of TechNet:
“For
over four decades, Senator Hatch has been a giant of the U.S. Senate, and his
impact on our nation will extend far beyond his retirement at the end of this
year. Among his many achievements, he
has helped reshape America’s judiciary, led the passage of major tax reform
legislation, tackled immigration issues with both economic sense and a deep
appreciation for how immigration benefits our country, and championed countless
other policies to promote American innovation.
As Senator Hatch winds down his career, we look forward to working with
him on finishing strong and adding to an already impressive legacy that was
further burnished by his work on tax reform in 2017.”
