Rep. Cory Mills-The voters deserve a strong, unifying conservative leader who wholeheartedly supports our Constitution.

We need a Speaker who is prepared to take on the tasks of securing our borders, get our spending under control, meet deadlines promised to the people, and put America FIRST.

Congress doesn’t deserve to rest till our next leader is in position, we need to get back to work!

Jared Moskowitz -Let me end this right now. If my vote mattered, I would vote for another Republican for speaker (and risk my political career) before I ever allowed Donald Trump to hold the speakers gavel. THE END! This shit is done.

Lauren Book-Great morning meeting with our Broward Delegation as we work together to fight for the needs of our community!
