Today, after carefully considering the comments, letters and phone calls we received on the candidates for Speaker of the House of Representatives, I voted for John Boehner of Ohio. After the November elections, the newly elected Republican members of the House met in the Capitol to discuss the priorities and leadership for the Congress to come. In a private meeting, outside the gaze of the cameras and the related posturing for publicity, not a single Member of the House challenged John Boehner for Speaker and he was re-elected without opposition. I will fight the hard fight. Two years ago, I was in the middle of the fight to change leadership in the House. I was one of 8 Members who voted against John Boehner for Speaker. That effort to change Speakers failed. I came to Washington to fight for the values and principles that represent New Mexico. I will never stop this fight, and will work every day to improve our Nation and create a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren. Thank you again for taking the time to express your views on todays election.
