Romney Cosponsors Resolution Supporting Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) joined Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and seven of their Senate colleagues in introducing a bipartisan resolution expressing support for the United States national teams competing in the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, France. 

“For more than 100 years, the Olympic and Paralympic Movements have educated young people through amateur athletics; brought together athletes from many countries in friendly competition; and forged new relationships among athletes bound by friendship, solidarity, and fair play,” the senators’ resolution states. “The people of the United States stand united in respect, admiration, and pride for the athletes of Team USA and their athletic accomplishments, sportsmanship, grace under pressure, goodwill toward other competitors, and commitment to excellence.”

The resolution is also cosponsored by U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), James Lankford (R-OK), John Boozman (R-AR), Michael Bennett (D-CO), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and Laphonza Butler (D-CA). Full text of the resolution can be found here.

Prior to the opening ceremony, Senator Romney—in a video message—recognized the more than 30 Team USA athletes with Utah ties and wished them well as they compete in Paris.
