WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) today released the following statement regarding Speaker John Boehner’s announcement this morning:
“I am eternally grateful for the steady, principled leadership Speaker Boehner has provided the House, and for the friendship and mentorship he’s given me. There is no Speaker in history who has done more to defend innocent human life, to combat a lawless executive branch, and to advance a conservative governing vision for our country. His humility, patriotism, and commitment to our values will be deeply missed.”
