Paul Ryans Election as Speaker of the House | 2015-10-29 | 2015 | 2015-10 | Democrat | House | VT | Peter Welch | W000800 | welch.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON Congressman Peter Welch (D-VT) today issued the following statement following the election of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as Speaker of the House. Upon his election, Welch congratulated Speaker Ryan with a gift of cheese from Cabot Creamery and maple syrup from Maverick Sugarbush. Today the House of Representatives elected a new Speaker of the House Paul Ryan from Wisconsin.I know Paul well.We worked closely together to help Vermont's artisan cheesemakers threated by a dumb FDA rule and then he helped me save VSAC jobs threatened by a provision in the budget.While we disagree on many policy issues, I can confirm that at least he loves Vermont cheese from Cabot and maple syrup from Maverick Sugarbush in Sharon! He is a good, decent, and honest man.Paul's election gives me hope -- hope that we can fix a broken House and hope that we will get back to work for the American people. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
