Jordan, Emmer, McClain, and the entire House GOP Leadership team on their elections to lead our Conference in the 120th Congress. It is a great honor to be called upon by your colleagues to serve, and these men and women are well-equipped to stand in the gap and preserve the values that have made America the freest, most powerful, and most successful nation the world has ever known.
