Washington, D.C. — Following Congressman Kevin McCarthy's (CA-20) election as Speaker of the House, Representative John Curtis (UT-03) released the following statement:

The election process for Speaker McCarthy took longer than expected, but it has brought House Republicans closer together. Now, it is our responsibility to fulfill the mandate given to us by the American people and govern effectively. I will focus on advancing Utah's values of fiscal responsibility, national security, and a strong economy for the benefit of all Americans. The next two years may be challenging, but I am determined to contribute to positive change in our country.
