Congressman Carter Issues Statement on House Republican Civil War

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) released the following statement in response to the motion to vacate Speaker Kevin McCarthy:

“This Speakership has been dysfunctional since day one. Americans deserve better, and it is our job as elected officials to move our country forward. The ‘House Republican Civil War’ we’re witnessing today is at best distasteful, and at worst defective.

“I came to Congress to make Louisianian’s lives better, to guarantee vital resources for combatting natural disasters, to defend social security and Medicaid, and to protect our most vulnerable. I will continue to find bipartisan solutions with my colleagues whenever possible in the best interest of the people I serve.

“I will always put people over politics; progress over partisanship.”
