CONGRESSMAN BISHOP STATEMENT ELECTION OF NEW SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, PAUL RYAN

WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop Jr. (GA-02) released the following statement regarding the election of a new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin:

“To everything there is a season, and today, the leadership of the People’s House shifts from the Honorable John Boehner of Ohio to a proud son of Wisconsin, Representative Paul Ryan. The inability of members of Congress to cooperate with each other cries out for a renewed commitment to joint problem solving for the common good of the nation. Only time will tell, but under Speaker Ryan’s leadership, I am hopeful for a new season, defined less by dysfunction and more by bipartisan progress for the American People.”
