"I thank the Speaker for his 25 years of honorable and selfless service. His willingness to step down for the betterment of the institution so that we can more closely unify our party demonstrates his love for our country. He works tirelessly behind the scenes to bring people together and improve the lives of many, including inner city youth and those without a voice.
