Washington, DC—Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) today released the following statement after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) won Speaker of the House:

 “Today is historic as the Republican party came together to work on changes sought by our members, and elect Kevin McCarthy as our next Speaker. The big winners are the American people as we can now get to work on fixing the economy, making America energy independent, securing our border, better protecting our law enforcement, and standing up to authoritarian regimes such as China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work for the 2^nd District of Nebraska.”
