Congressman Turner released the following statement after the House voted on a series of measures on the nuclear deal with Iran.

In a House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee hearing, Congressman Turner questioned Lt. Gen Frank Klotz, Energy Under Secretary for Nuclear Security on the secret side deals involved in the nuclear agreement.

Congressman Turner released the following statement after the Senate has procured enough votes to secure the Iran nuclear deal.

"Today, the President is celebrating that he has secured less than 35% of the Senate to support the nuclear deal with Iran. This deal is supported by a partisan minority in Congress, while a bipartisan majority of Congress loudly disapproves and I urge the President to abandon this deal."

Congressman Turner released the following statement after Secretary of State John Kerry addressed the Iran Nuclear Deal.

"Secretary Kerry negotiated a deal with Iran based on what they would give us, not what we need as a secure global community. If we look to Iran's history and recent actions, we should have no reason to trust that this deal is in the best interest for regional stability or our own national security. Instead, we have a bad deal with less sanctions and restrictions. Under this agreement, Iran will remain a major threat to the United States and our allies."

Congressman Mike Turner released the following statement in response to President Obama moving to rename Mount McKinley.

"President McKinley was a proud Ohio Republican who was assassinated during his time in office while serving our nation and deserves the recognition Congress previously awarded him. The President's recent actions to remove his name and undermine a prior act of Congress is disrespectful and I will continue to fight for proper recognition of President McKinley's legacy."

Congressman Turner released the following statement amid reports Iran will be able to use its own inspectors to investigate alleged nuclear development site.

"If these reports are indeed true we cannot continue to hope Iran will follow the agreement the Administration blindly supports. The Parchin agreement between the IAEA and Iran must be made public. Iran's past actions are evidence enough that we cannot expect them to follow through on this agreement in good faith."

Congressman Turner was recently named a 'Hero of Main Street' by the National Retail Federation for his outstanding support on issues including trade, health care, tax reform and labor relations.

"I am honored to receive this award from the National Retail Federation today and continue to support policies that will allow small businesses in Dayton, Ohio and across the country to grow. Burdensome regulations continue to hold small businesses hostage and I will continue to fight for legislation that cuts back on the red tape."-- Congressman Mike Turner
