John Boehner
From Congressman Morgan Griffith: “I respect Speaker Boehner’s decision and thank him for his service to these United States. Though we may have had some disagreements on policy, tactics, and other matters, leading a legislative body is a challenging responsibility, and I appreciate Speaker Boehner’s efforts. I wish the Speaker, his family, and his team the best as they move forward. As this body moves forward, I will work closely and actively with my colleagues to establish a new leadership team to more closely reflect the voters’ will.”
From Congressman Bob Goodlatte: “Speaker Boehner has been a tireless public servant for his constituents. I respect his courageous decision to step down at the end of October in an effort to unite the Republican Conference, and thank him for his leadership in the House, as well as for his personal friendship over the years. I wish John and Debbie the best as they start a new chapter in their lives. The fight for the conservative cause must go on. Now is the time for House Republicans to renew our resolve to unite and plot a path forward to address the issues facing the American people today.”
