WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Jason Smith (Mo.) released the following statement endorsing House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (Ohio) for Speaker of the House:
“Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is a good friend, proven conservative, and the right person to lead Republicans as Speaker of the House. As Judiciary Chairman, Jordan has been a tireless advocate for holding President Joe Biden and Washington Democrats accountable for creating chaos at the border, fueling a nationwide crime crisis, and weaponizing the federal government. In addition, as a fellow co-leader of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president, he has played a vital role in our fight to get Americans the truth about the Biden family’s multi-million-dollar business peddling schemes. House Republicans must act quickly to elect the next House Speaker and end this gridlock that has brought our conservative agenda to a halt.”
