BATON ROUGE—It is with great pride and celebration that the LA Freedom Caucus congratulates Louisiana’s own Mike Johnson upon his election as the 56th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. This is the first time in history a Louisiana native has been elected by his colleagues to this high position, which is third in line to the presidency of the United States.
Well done, Speaker Johnson!
“I have known Congressman Johnson since the 90s and I have always admired his outstanding expertise in defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, biblical values, traditional marriage, and more. In Congress, he has served with consistent integrity. I couldn’t be any more proud to see him step into the position of Speaker of the House where his work will be a crucial part of restoring our nation,” said Beryl Amedée, Secretary-Treasurer and Founding Member of the LA Freedom Caucus.
“Congratulations to Congressman Mike Johnson on being elected Speaker of the United States House of Representatives! His dedication and leadership have not gone unnoticed, and I am confident that he will serve our nation with the utmost integrity and commitment. The people of Louisiana and our great country are fortunate to have him at the helm. Here’s to a prosperous tenure ahead!” said Senator-elect Blake Miguez, Founding Member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.
“I’ve known Mike Johnson since we were House colleagues in the state legislature together. I’ve always known Mike to be incredibly intelligent, kind, and a true statesman. A great conservative warrior who knows how to bring people together—and now that’s evident for the whole world to see. It’s a great day for Louisiana and America!” said Rep. Julie Emerson, Founding Member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.
“So proud of my friend and brother in Christ in his acknowledgement that God places us in positions of power to serve our people in His name. We could not have made a better choice in times such as these than Speaker Mike Johnson,” said Rep. Danny McCormick, Founding Member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus.
