Sánchez statement on Mike Johnson as 56th House Speaker
October 25, 2023
WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (CA-38) issued the following statement regarding House Republicans’ election of Mike Johnson as the 56th House Speaker:
“Now more than ever, we need sensible solutions in Congress. But instead of working with Democrats on bipartisan solutions, Republicans paralyzed our government for three weeks. In the final hour, they fell to Trump's demands and elected extremist Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House.
Remember this vote when they tell you they aren't puppets in Donald Trump's dangerous game. The fight against MAGA extremism continues.”
