Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) has issued a statement congratulating Mike Johnson on his election as the 56th Speaker of the House of Representatives. In his statement, Rep. Roy commended Johnson as a fellow conservative and a man of deep Christian faith who believes in the values and way of life of the United States.

He pointed out issues such as the open border, uncontrollable spending leading to rampant inflation, and the weaponization of the federal bureaucracy against ordinary Americans.

He emphasized the importance of getting to work and fulfilling the duties entrusted to them by the American people. Rep. Roy concluded his statement by calling for leadership, the fight for the American people, and a commitment to achieving success together with Speaker Johnson and his colleagues.
