House Republicans are closing the book on one-party Democratic rule, write RepBuddyCarter and RepJasonSmith.
The people elected us to lead. While Democrats spent the lame-duck session ramming through a last-minute $2 trillion spending bill, Republicans began preparing for a strong first 100 days by drafting our first 10 bills, establishing leadership positions, and lining up hearings. For our incoming House Republican majority, step one is uniting behind Kevin McCarthy as the next speaker of the House. McCarthy is a strong, fiscal conservative with the backing of former President Donald Trump.
More importantly, however, Republicans are the right people to lead Congress. We have pledged to build an economy that is strong, a nation that is safe, a future that is built on freedom, and a government that is accountable. We have a positive agenda and solutions that can address the challenges that families are facing today. For the millions of people who have suffered for two years under one-party Democratic rule in Washington, we need to be ready to deliver — even in a divided government.
To get Democrats to come to the table and reach a compromise on big issues of bipartisan agreement, such as the need to address our border crisis, combat China, schedule fentanyl, and prescription drug pricing, we must come together as a party behind one speaker. That speaker is Kevin McCarthy.
