Isakson Statement on Speaker Boehner

 

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today released the following statement on the decision by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to resign his post at the end of October:

 

“John Boehner has been a close and trusted friend since I first was elected to Congress. While I regret his retirement, I respect his decision and thank him for his unselfish service to the United States. Under John’s leadership, the Republican majority in the House gained strength and worked hard to reduce spending, defend America’s interest internationally, and empower free enterprise. I will miss my friend.”
