“I thank Representative Calvert for his leadership and for yielding. I rise to honor and thank Speaker Kevin McCarthy who is a selfless and amazing leader and who is always optimistic about his service in Congress which has left a lasting impact on his community, our States, our party, and our country. Kevin has had my back since I first decided to run for Congress, and he has encouraged me every single step of the way. He has worked tirelessly to make our party look more like America, and the gains we have made in the past 5 years are a testament to that. Kevin has been committed to ensuring people like me and each of us in our conference have what it takes to be effective Members for our districts. He is the reason we have a House majority today. I always say the GOP is the grand opportunity party, and that is because of Members like Kevin, who are committed to promoting commonsense policies to get our country back on track, make life more affordable, keep our communities safe, and protect the American Dream. I thank Kevin. I wish him the best in the next chapter. I know he is just getting started because I know he never gives up.”
