Today, Representative Gwen Graham issued the following statement in response to Speaker John Boehner's resignation announcement.

"On my first day in office, I voted for new leadership because I believe at this critical time in our nation's history, Congress can not afford to remain divided and dysfunctional.

"In my mission to bring the North Florida Way to Washington, I have worked with and become friends with members on both sides of the aisle -- and thank Speaker Boehner for his lifetime of public service. Though we disagree on many issues, I have seen firsthand a bipartisan desire for Congress to get back to work for the American people.

"With Speaker Boehner's announcement, today, I challenge my colleagues in both parties to join me in voting for new leadership that will heal our partisan divisions and unite us to solve the major issues we face."
