Emilia Sykes (OH-13) issued the following statement after House Republicans elected Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) as the new Speaker of the House.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m disappointed that after three weeks of House Republicans fighting amongst themselves and forcing Congress to a standstill, they have chosen to elect an extreme House Speaker that supported efforts to overturn the 2020 election, wants to criminalize abortion nationwide, and has worked to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid,\u201d said Rep. Sykes. \u201cPeople in Ohio\u2019s 13th Congressional District deserve a Speaker of the House who will work together with any member to find common ground and bipartisan solutions\u2014 not someone who will double down on partisan politics meant to distract and divide us.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sykes.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-sykes-statement-new-house-speaker"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6165589913725853, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
