U.S. Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins

(MSC News)--Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump.

Those words are offered by U.S. Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins following Trump's victory in Tuesday's election.

The Kansas Republican, in a written statement, says she is looking forward to working with Trump “to put forward a conservative, common-sense agenda that will help empower Kansans and Americans everywhere.”

Now that the election is over, Jenkins says the focus can be placed on better ways to fix the nation's broken tax code and improve the United States healthcare system by repealing and replacing Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.

Among Trump's campaign promises was his goal to repeal and replace President Obama's landmark legislation. Following the election, Trump released his health care plan.

Jenkins won re-election Tuesday to her 5th term representing Kansas' 2nd Congressional District, defeating Democratic challenger Britani Potter and Libertarian James Bales.
