Rep. Baird Statement on Supporting Johnson for Speaker

Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement after casting his vote for Speaker of the House for Mike Johnson: “For four years, Hoosiers have struggled under the Biden Administration’s catastrophic policies, which the American people resoundingly rejected in November 2024. As we begin the 119 th Congress, and as President Trump is sworn into office on January 20, 2025, the American people deserve a Speaker who is committed to advancing President Trump’s America First agenda. For this reason, I was proud to cast my vote for Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House. I am confident in Mike Johnson’s ability to work with the Republican-led Senate and President Trump to roll back the Biden Administration’s burdensome regulations, unleash American energy dominance, secure our southern border, and restore economic prosperity. I look forward to working with Speaker Johnson to restore America’s leadership and deliver on the mandate of the American people.” ###
