Statement from Congressman Dan Donovan on Speaker Boehner’s Resignation

“I had the privilege of serving with Speaker Boehner – a man of integrity and fortitude – for my first months in Congress. We can be proud of his service and unyielding drive to realize a better, more prosperous America.

“The job of leading such a diverse body requires purposeful vision and the strength to guide us toward a brighter future. I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues to elect a Speaker who will work to make our government more effective and efficient, while enacting policies that provide opportunity for all.

“Like Speaker Boehner, the American people care most about solutions – delivering results should be our next Speaker’s goal.”
