“Madam Clerk, I rise to nominate Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. The American Dream is a dream worth fighting for, and I know in my heart of hearts that Kevin McCarthy is the man to lead us as we work to fulfill that dream for everyone in every State and in every district. Everyone in this Chamber understands the need to serve our constituents. It is who elected us, and it is our responsibility. Kevin understands this as well as anyone. He has dedicated his life to spreading opportunity for all through the private sector and the public sector. This place is a special place for me. My first time on the Hill was back when I was an intern in 2003. My mom visited, and I remember walking her around the Halls of Congress as if I owned the place. Well, just a few days ago, I got to walk my mom around this special place one more time, but now as a Member-elect of the United States House of Representatives. The American Dream is alive. I believe it. I have gotten to know Kevin McCarthy well. He secured a Republican majority in the United States House and laid out a plan to deliver for the American people. There is one thing I know about Kevin McCarthy: He cares about the American people. He cares about our country, and he is here not to be somebody but to do something. That has been laid out in his Commitment to America, to fight for: an economy that is strong; a nation that is safe; a future that is built on freedom; and a government that is accountable.…”
