Rep. Calvert Statement on Speaker Paul Ryan

"It has been an honor and privilege to serve with Speaker Ryan and we will sorely miss his expertise, leadership, and wit. Speaker Ryan led a diverse Republican Conference with skill and integrity. When I was a member of the Budget Committee during his Chairmanship, I witnessed first-hand a brilliant policy mind dedicated to fiscal responsibility. As Speaker, he passed one of the most significant reforms to our tax code in history. Through all these accomplishments, he has remained humble and grateful. Thank you Speaker Ryan for all you have done for this institution and we wish you well as you return to your most cherished role, a Dad."
