Roger Williams Statement on Speaker's Race
Statement
Issues: Legislative Branch
Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas) today released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted for Paul Ryan of Wisconsin to succeed John Boehner as Speaker of the House:
"Last month, when John announced his resignation, I said it was an opportunity for Republicans to "pass the torch on to new management and advance a strong conservative agenda.' As a proven leader, I am hopeful Paul Ryan will effectively accomplish that goal while guiding the Republican Conference with one voice to confront the anti-growth policies of the Democrat Party and the Obama Administration."
