Speaker Johnson Congratulates GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik

US House Speaker Mike Johnson released a statement congratulating House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik on her selection by President Trump, to serve as the Ambassador to the United Nations.

Johnson was Tuesday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”. Here is the statement:

“Chairwoman Elise Stefanik is an outstanding selection to serve as Ambassador to the United Nations, where she will be tasked with undoing four years of failed, incoherent foreign policy decisions that weakened America’s standing on the world stage. With over a decade of foreign and national security policy experience, Chairwoman Stefanik is prepared to deliver for President Trump as she has for years as a leader in the House of Representatives.

Elise has been a dear friend and colleague, and we will miss her presence in this chamber. We have served shoulder-to-shoulder together, from our time on President Trump’s impeachment defense team, to the House Armed Services Committee, and now in House leadership. She is a fighter, and President Trump could not have chosen a more capable person to represent American interests abroad.”

The “Newsmaker of the Day” is heard every weekday morning at 6:45, 7:45 and 8:45 on AM 1450 and FM 102.7 KVML.
