Today, House Democratic Co-Chairs of the American Canadian Economy and Security (ACES) Caucus Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) and Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) released the following statement on the election of Mark Carney as Prime Minister of Canada.

“We extend our congratulations to Mark Carney on his election victory and his appointment as Canada’s 24th Prime Minister.  His extensive experience in global economics will undoubtedly serve the Canadian people well amid global challenges as he leads Canada into its next chapter.

“For more than a century, the United States and Canada have maintained a close partnership built on a foundation of shared democratic values, economic partnership and trade, and mutual respect.  As Democratic House Co-Chairs of the ACES Caucus, we look forward to working with Prime Minister Carney and his administration to promote prosperity, address shared challenges, and further deepen the relationship between our two countries.  We wish Prime Minister Carney success and reaffirm our commitment to the enduring U.S.-Canada alliance.”

In 2023, Congresswoman Fletcher launched the ACES Caucus, a bipartisan, bicameral coalition dedicated to advancing policies that strengthen the economic and security relationship between the U.S. and Canada.
