WASHINGTON — House Republicans again unanimously selected Speaker Johnson to lead the House Republican Conference and continue serving as the 56th Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 119th Congress.

“We had a very productive day together as a Republican Conference, and the theme that you’ll hear over and over from all of our members across the conference is that we are unified and energized and ready to go,” Speaker Johnson said. “We have to deliver for the American people beginning on day one in the new Congress, and we will be ready for that.”

House Republicans also elected Rep. Steve Scalise to serve as Majority Leader, Rep. Tom Emmer to serve as Majority Whip, Rep. Lisa McClain to serve as Conference Chairwoman, Rep. Richard Hudson to serve as NRCC Chairman, Rep. Blake Moore to serve as Conference Vice Chairman, Rep. Kevin Hern to serve as Conference Policy Chair, and Rep. Erin Houchin to serve as Conference Secretary.

Following the leadership elections, the new House Republican Leadership team delivered remarks and took questions from assembled press.
