Washington, DC – Following the announcement that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) will not seek re-election this year, Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) released this statement:

“Speaker Ryan is a good man, a true conservative, and a strong leader. He has done a lot for his country—he has made lasting impacts for the good of our economy and we are beyond grateful for his service to this institution. I’m proud to have served alongside Paul here in Congress, to have his leadership over these last few years, and I’m both proud and fortunate to call him my friend. I wish Paul, Jana, and their children all the best in his next steps. He will be deeply missed in the People’s House.”
