Brat on Speaker Election | 2016-11-14 | 2016 | 2016-11 | Republican | House | VA | David Brat | B001290 | brat.house.gov | legacy | Rep. Brat (R-Va.) issued the following statement ahead of Tuesday's internal GOP leadership elections:"The American people just sent a bold message to the Washington elites - it's time for Congress to put the American people first. Like last year, I ask for clear, unambiguous answers on how the candidates for Speaker will pursue the agenda the American people voted for. I am happy to vote for anyone who does so. I will not vote for anyone who does not have this agenda on paper for the American people to see. That is what the people I represent demand and deserve."Rep. Brat (R-Va.) wrote an op-ed discussing his thoughts on the upcoming Speaker election. You can read the op-ed by clicking here.### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
