Garbarino Supports Johnson For Speaker

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02) released a statement announcing his support for Congressman Mike Johnson  (R-LA-04) for Speaker of the House.

“Congressman Mike Johnson has my support for Speaker. I was pleased to speak with Rep. Johnson about critical issues facing Long Island. He understands how essential flood insurance and disaster relief is to coastal communities like Long Island because his home state of Louisiana faces the same challenges. He knows how important it is that we stand behind 9/11 first responders and survivors because his father was a firefighter disabled in the line of duty. He acknowledges that providing SALT relief is critical for middle-class Americans burdened by double taxation and must be addressed in any tax bill the House considers. He is a strong conservative committed to keeping the government open while Congress completes the appropriations process. Mike Johnson understands New York priorities and I look forward to working with him as the next Speaker of the House of Representatives,” said. Rep. Garbarino.

“I look forward to working with the Long Island members on the issues that matter most to them,” said Rep. Johnson.
