Rep. Calvert Statement on the Election of Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement following the election of Rep. Paul Ryan (WI-1) as Speaker of the House of Representatives:

"Paul Ryan is ready to lead House Republicans in our effort to enact the conservative policies that unite us and that we were sent to Washington to enact. I have witnessed Paul's leadership firsthand, including serving with him on the Budget Committee while he was Chairman, and I have no doubt that he can and will be an effective Speaker. The immediate task at hand for Paul Ryan is to spearhead the charge to limit the executive overreach of President Obama and pass policies that get our federal government out of the way of more economic growth. I know that he is up to the task."
