January 2, 2025 Press Release Washington, D.C. – Today Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement voicing support for Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as Speaker of the House in the 119th Congress. "Mike Johnson is the right choice to lead the House. At the start of a new year and a new Congress, we have an opportunity to deliver the commonsense policies needed to get our country back on track. In the House, we must unite and capitalize on this historic momentum to secure our borders, ensure the safety of the American people, strengthen families, kick-start economic growth, and expeditiously implement the priorities Americans elected President Trump and congressional Republicans to lead on. Mike Johnson has strong relationships with the president-elect and across the Republican Conference. He is a problem solver, a good friend, and he has my full support for Speaker in the 119th Congress." ###
