U.S. Representative Sean Duffy (WI-07) offered the following comments upon learning of Speaker John Boehner's plans to resign next month:
"As one of 12 children from a working class Catholic family, John Boehner is the epitome of the American dream. He worked his way from his Father's bar to the 3rd most powerful post in this country. His strong Midwestern worth ethic and devout faith have served him well in his political career and allowed him to follow his heart and conscience regardless of his critics concerns. I value his leadership, I am grateful for his friendship, and Rachel and I will always appreciate the extra care he showed our family. I wish him all the best as he turns his full attention to a far more important role, grandpa.
