Loebsack Comment on House GOP Speaker Election

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack made the following comment today after Rep. Kevin McCarthy's abrupt decision to not run for Speaker of the House.

"After today's latest failure of the House Republican Conference, it is clear that Republicans need to do some soul searching before they name their next Speaker. There are simply too many big problems facing America for this disarray to continue. Once again, the most extreme elements of the Republican Party put their own interests above those of the American people. I stand ready to work with any Member to pass legislation that will get Americans back to work and protect and promote American interests abroad."
