Today, Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) voted for Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) to be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. Speaker Johnson received unanimous support among Republicans, earning 220 votes.
 
"Republicans united behind our colleague Mike Johnson and we're ready to get to work for the American people – reducing federal spending, supporting our ally Israel, holding the Biden administration accountable and securing the southern border," said Rep. Estes. "The process to elect a new Speaker was difficult at times, but I'm confident that we’ve elected an excellent Speaker in Mike Johnson and that he will lead the People's House successfully through these challenging times."
 
Rep. Estes voted in support of Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) three times on the House floor last week and nominated his colleague Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma) in the House Republican Conference meeting yesterday. He has consistently supported conservative Republicans to lead the House as Speaker.
