REP LIEU STATEMENT ON MIKE JOHNSON BEING MADE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement on Mike Johnson (R-LA) becoming Speaker of the House.

“I want to extend my best wishes to Speaker Mike Johnson on his election. I commend his commitment to finding common ground with Democrats. Earlier this year, as Vice Chairs of our respective Caucus and Conference, we co-hosted a bipartisan event focused on educating Members on artificial intelligence. I have appreciated working with him on other issues related to AI and it is my sincere hope that we can continue to find opportunities for bipartisanship as he assumes this new role. With the makeup of Congress as it currently is, we have to work together to pass legislation to tackle our country’s most pressing issues.”
