Rep. Loudermilk Issues Statement After House Votes to Remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after eight Republicans joined 208 Democrats to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House:

"As a strong conservative at the state and federal levels, I have always fought for faith, family, freedom, limited government, a free market economy, and personal responsibility. I have advocated strongly that we can accomplish these goals if those of us who believe in them unify. We cannot make the needed changes in this country if we’re constantly attacking one another.

"Today, a small faction of House Republicans, along with Democrats, brought our momentum to a halt - all investigations, as well as the progress we’ve made in drastically cutting spending.
While I am disappointed in what happened today, it’s time for Republicans to band together to restore our nation to one that is free, safe, and full of opportunity for all."
