Retailers Applaud Senator Durbins Career in Congress

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) issued the following statement after news that Senator Dick Durbin will not seek reelection:

"The nation's leading retailers applaud Senator Durbin for his service and impact in the halls of Congress. Over the years, Senator Durbin has championed some of the most consequential legislation impacting Main Street businesses, including the pivotal debit payment reforms, sales tax fairness and the INFORM Consumer Act," said Austen Jensen, RILA Executive Vice President, Government Affairs. 

"His leadership will be missed, but his voice and courage will hopefully be passed to a new generation of senators from both parties. Thank you again, Senator, for all your hard work and decades of dedication to your constituents and the American people."
