Peltola Blasts Motion to Vacate

 

WASHINGTON – Today, following Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s call to remove Speaker Mike Johnson, Representative Mary Peltola (AK-AL) released the following statement: 

 

“The last time party infighting created days of Speaker votes, I had to leave my family while we were grieving the loss of my late husband and getting our affairs in order. An outsized proportion of Alaska’s economy is dependent on the federal government – this isn’t a game or a joke for us. There’s real work that needs to get done. That’s why I supported Representative Mike Johnson to remain Speaker of the House.”
