Congressman Jim Bridenstine: A Gang of Nine

Statement

I am pleased to see so many Members of Congress responding to the voices of their constituents in supporting new leadership.

Rep. Louie Gohmert added his name to Rep. Ted Yoho as willing to stand for election as Speaker of the House. Reps. Paul Gosar, Steve King and Dave Brat made public statements of their commitments to vote for new leadership. Rep. Marlin Stutzman also gave me permission to announce that his statement would be forthcoming Monday morning. Rep. Walter Jones, Thomas Massie and I had issued our statements previously.

If this vote fit the Progressive agenda, the media would be calling us a "Gang of Nine." Monday, we will be in double digits. The Congress is hearing the people.
