Congressman Flood Congratulates Speaker Johnson

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement after voting along with fellow Republicans to elect Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana as the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Congratulations to Rep. Mike Johnson on his election to be the next Speaker of the House. He is a principled, constitutional conservative who will do a fantastic job leading House Republicans. We have important work in front of us: America needs to step up and support Israel as they fight back against Palestinian terrorism. We need to keep government running for the people, and we need to continue to deliver on our Commitment to America. I know Speaker Johnson has what it takes to bring the House together around these critical priorities, and I look forward to working together on them in the coming days and weeks.”

Late last week, Congressman Flood launched a Unity Pledge to help rally House Republicans to elect the next Speaker. Rep. Johnson was a signatory of that pledge.
