Washington,
November 13, 2024
Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement after being re-elected as the House Majority Leader for the 119th Congress:
“I am honored to be re-elected by my colleagues to serve as the Majority Leader for the 119th Congress, where I will continue to fight each and every day to make life safe and affordable for the American people. Last week, the people voted to make their voices heard, and the result was a resounding mandate to reject radical far-left policies and implement President Trump’s America First agenda. “With control of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, Republicans have been given the opportunity to quickly begin reversing the Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous policies and restoring America to greatness. This means passing legislation to secure America’s southern border, unleash American energy, lower costs for hardworking families by getting inflation under control, rein in costly regulations, keep our communities safe, bolster our national security, and reject tax hikes. “House Republicans are ready to get to work fulfilling our promises to the American people and answering their clear demand for change. As Majority Leader, I look forward to working with President Trump, Speaker Johnson, Whip Emmer, Conference Chair McClain, NRCC Chair Hudson, Policy Chair Hern, Vice Chair Moore, Conference Secretary Houchin, and my colleagues in the Republican Conference on shaping our legislative agenda and bringing bills to the House Floor that address the issues most important to the American people.” |
