Palmer Comments on Paul Ryan Selection for Speaker

Statement

Today, Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL), supported Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Speaker of the House.

"Speaker Ryan has been granted the opportunity by a majority of his colleagues to lead the House," Palmer said. "I believe he is capable. This has never been about the person or personality, but about process, about restoring regular order and having the House function as the Founders designed it to and as it should. We can restore constitutional governance, representative government, which is what we have all been elected to do. After hearing Speaker Ryan's speech, I believe we have taken a major step forward. I look forward to working with Speaker Ryan and all of my colleagues as we pursue this goal."
