Paul Ryan Has Revealed His Decision on Speaker Run

It’s official. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is seeking to be the House Speaker–but he wants the infighting to stop.

Ryan made his announcement late Thursday in a letter to members of the House Republican Conference. Ryan told Republican colleagues that he is “ready and eager” to serve and pledged that if he could unify the party in the House, he “would go all in.”

“After talking with so many of you, and hearing your words of encouragement, I believe we are ready to move forward as a one united team,” Ryan wrote.

Moving together as a team has been an issue for GOP congressional members. Conservatives often clashed with former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was expected to take over leadership after Boehner left office at the end of the month, but suddenly withdraw his name.

Ryan made it clear in his letter that America has a lot of problems, and he expects Republicans to be unified in finding solutions.

“I know you’re are willing to work hard and get it done, and I think this moment is ripe for real reform,” Ryan wrote, adding that all Republican members generally believe in the same principles. (Read more from “Paul Ryan Has Revealed His Decision on Speaker Run” HERE)
