Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) released the following statement in response to today’s vote for Speaker of the House: “My vote for Speaker will always be Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Leader Jeffries and the Democratic agenda put people over politics. It’s a vote I proudly cast. However, a Speaker is chosen from the majority party. In this case the Republican Party has chosen Congressman Mike Johnson. I trust that Speaker Johnson will do everything in his power to bring order back to the People’s House. “I will continue to work across the aisle to address key issues facing every American – from keeping the government open, fighting for environmental justice, fixing risk rating 2.0, providing disaster relief, enshrining voting rights, and much more. “Mike Johnson and I are ideologically worlds apart, but I consider him a friend and colleague. Together, we must continue to fight for Louisiana and our great country. Congratulations, Mr. Speaker. Let’s move forward and get back to work.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
