Washington, D.C.—Today, Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) released the following statement after House Speaker John Boehner announced he would resign from Congress at the end of October:

“I appreciate Speaker Boehner’s service and wish him and his family the very best in the next chapter of their lives.  As the House prepares to elect a new Speaker, it’s as important as ever that we work toward a shared commitment in tackling the serious challenges facing hardworking families – challenges that are only being made worse by this Administration’s misguided policies.”
