NE 1st District Congressman Mike Flood
Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued the statement below following a vote by House Democrats and a handful of Republicans to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“Today’s decision by a handful of my colleagues to vacate the chair undermines the work of House Republicans to enact a conservative agenda and has the unfortunate effect of helping Democrats,” said Congressman Flood, “I expect this phase will be temporary, and I look forward to restoring Kevin McCarthy to the Speaker’s office. No one will do a better job than him in delivering on our conservative agenda.”
The final vote to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy was 216 to 210.
