STATEMENT FROM THE FAITH & FREEDOM COALITION’S RALPH REED & TIMOTHY HEAD ON HOUSE SPEAKER SELECTION

From FFCoalition.com:

“Steve Scalise has been a solid champion for life, the family, religious liberty, and sound fiscal policy throughout his public life. He has been an unapologetic defender of conservative principles from the moment he arrived in Congress. We are grateful to our friend Jim Jordan for agreeing to nominate Speaker-designate Scalise as a gesture of unity. Now that Republicans have chosen a speaker-designate, it is time for the House to get back to work. With Israel under attack, Iran fomenting terror, a ground war in Europe, inflation devouring the incomes of working families, the imminent need to pass a spending plan, and our southern border overrun by illegal crossings and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, this is no time for paralysis on Capitol Hill. Republicans need to unite behind Rep. Scalise so they can address the critical issues facing American families and our longtime allies. We strongly urge Republicans to vote posthaste to make Steve Scalise the next House speaker.
