Moolenaar Statement on the Retirement of Speaker Ryan

Today, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan of Wisconsin announced that he will retire from the House of Representatives at the end of the current term. Ryan was first elected to the House in 1998.

Congressman John Moolenaar made the following statement:

"Speaker Ryan has been an outstanding leader for our country in Congress. In 2015, he answered the call of service to take on the incredibly difficult job of Speaker. Since then, he has increased funding for our veterans and our military, and led the fight for historic tax reform with lower rates and a $2,000 child tax credit that helps hardworking Michigan families. I wish Speaker Ryan and his family all the best."
