Speaker-designate Boehner issued the following statement regarding the
new leadership team:
“Our
new leadership team reflects a new majority ready to listen to the
people and go to work on their priorities: creating jobs, cutting
spending, and reforming Congress. These priorities are embodied
in the
Pledge to America, a governing agenda built by listening to
the people.
“Our new leadership team reflects a
new majority ready to be humbler,
wiser, and more focused than its predecessors on the priorities of the
people. It will have these traits not because of me, but because
of
the people it serves. It will have these traits because it was
forged
by a new movement that repudiated Washington, and sent us more than 80
new colleagues to stand with us in the drive for a smaller, less
costly, and more accountable government. I
am pleased that our new leadership team includes two members of our
freshman class, which brings the fresh perspective and entrepreneurial
spirit Americans are longing to see in their government.
“I’m honored and humbled to have the
trust and confidence of my
colleagues as we begin this journey. I’m particularly grateful to
the
outgoing members of our leadership team – Mike Pence and Thad McCotter
– for their outstanding service, and look forward to their continued
contributions in the next Congress.
“Of course, the greatest honor is the
one bestowed upon me by the
people of Ohio’s Eighth Congressional District, who have sent me here
to represent their will. In the end, it’s about them, their
fellow
Ohioans, and their fellow Americans – they are the ones in
charge. We
must honor our Constitution and stand up for the values that have made
America, America -- economic freedom, individual liberty, and a
government accountable to the consent of the governed. These are
the
principles for which our new majority will stand. For the good of
our
nation, and the hopes and dreams of future generations, we have to get
this right, and God-willing, we will.”
