Statement by Congressman Darrell Issa

On November 8, 2022, the American people voted to end the Speakership of Nancy Pelosi and return appropriate balance in Washington. The Republican Party earned that victory, and with it the opportunity to lead in a new direction and begin a new era of better governance.
 
The past two years haven’t been good for America. Despite the daily hard work of the American people, we’ve lost much ground as a nation: economically, educationally, militarily, and all around the world.
 
The stakes are too high for us not to come together and take action.
 
The last few days have brought forward many productive conversations and new ideas about a better way forward. But we can’t fight for the American people until we stop fighting with each other.
 
The GOP made a promise to the voters and now it is time for us to keep it.
