Garbarino Statement On The Election Of Kevin McCarthy As Speaker Of The House

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02) release the following statement after Kevin McCarthy was elected to be Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives for the 118th Congress: 

"The Republican party is a big tent party with many voices, views, and priorities. We are reflective of the American people and the result of this diversity of opinion is what we saw play out in the race for Speaker. Whatever our differences, we are all united in our singular commitment to bettering the lives of the American people and reversing many of the disastrous policies of the last two years under one-party Democrat rule in Washington. Today, we elected my friend and colleague, Kevin McCarthy, as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives. On Monday, we get to work delivering on our Commitment To America which our constituents sent us here to do. I fully intend to hit the ground running - securing healthcare for 9/11 first responders and survivors, taking care of our veterans, strengthening the southern border, and reducing the economic burden Long Islanders have faced over the last two years. We have a job to do, and I am confident we can get it done under the new Republican majority and under the leadership of Speaker McCarthy."
