Whip Emmer: “I, first, want to say thank you to my House Republican colleagues for electing me to serve as their Majority Whip once again. It’s a privilege and a responsibility I do not take lightly. We treat the Whip office like a customer service office. We are here to serve our members and the people they represent. We don’t take anyone or any vote for granted. And we will continue building a culture of teamwork, communication, and respect to deliver more wins on behalf of the American people. Now that we have our leadership team in place, it’s time to suit up and get to work. President Trump delivered the greatest political comeback in American history based on his proven record and promise to make this country great again. Voters also gave him a Republican Senate and a Republican House to help him do it. So, now, it’s our turn. It’s our turn to make good on the priorities we’ve been campaigning on for the last two years by passing legislation to: Make life more affordable for all Americans, secure our borders, unleash American energy, restore our dominance on the world stage, and lower taxes for hardworking families. We’ve got the team, the work ethic, and the plan to do it. Now, with the trifecta in hand, we stand ready and united behind President Trump to deliver on his America First agenda once and for all. As the 118th Congress proved, it may not always be smooth sailing and we may have some disagreements along the way, but I’ve always been a firm believer that there’s more that unites us than divides us and, so long as we work together as a team, I have no doubt we will seize the opportunity in front of us and put our country on a better path for generations to come.”
