House Majority Whip Tom Emmer Saturday officially announced his candidacy for the open speaker position, commenting that he's running "to bring our conference together and get back to work."
However, he pointed out that with the division in choosing a speaker to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., "Our conference remains at a crossroads and the deck is stacked against us. We have no choice but to fight like hell to hold on to our House majority and deliver on our conservative agenda."
McCarthy, who was ousted as speaker earlier this month, said Friday he is endorsing Emmer to become the next speaker, commenting that he is the "right person for the job" and that he could unite the conference. "The American people deserve a functioning Congress," said Finstad. "It is my hope that my House colleagues can come together to get this election done, get the House back in order, and get back to working for the American people."
