WASHINGTON- All of the following can be attributed to Congressman Steve Stivers regarding today’s announcement by Speaker of the House John Boehner:
“I was surprised and sorry to hear that John Boehner will be stepping down as Speaker of the House. He is a friend and the person who talked me into running for Congress.
“He has been a leader who is always willing to make the tough decisions and do the right thing for our country, even when it was not in his own personal best interests.
“After yesterday’s moving visit by the Pope and today’s selfless act by Speaker Boehner, I think all of us need to look inward and come together as a team, putting our petty differences aside to do what is best for the American people.”
