Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-KS), commented today on his nomination by President-elect Trump to lead the Central Intelligence Agency.

Pompeo said, "I am honored and humbled to accept the President-elect's nomination to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. This was a difficult decision. I have genuinely loved representing the people of Kansas in Congress--working to make our community stronger and more prosperous. But ultimately the opportunity to lead the world's finest intelligence warriors, who labor tirelessly to keep this nation and Kansas safe, is a call to service I cannot ignore.

I want to thank the people of the 4th District who entrusted me over the past six years to be their voice in our nation's capital. I will continue to represent you in this new post with the highest level of honesty, integrity, and vision."
