Press Releases

WASHINGTON — This past week, Speaker Johnson made several stops throughout Louisiana’s Fourth Congressional District to meet with his constituents, local business leaders, law enforcement officers, and service members. At each stop, Speaker Johnson provided an update on Republicans’ efforts to prevent a costly government shutdown, discussed the Working Families Tax Cuts’ impact on Louisiana industries, and answered questions from the audience. 

“We’ve got to jealously guard and protect all those who are wearing that uniform to protect us, the world is a dangerous place right now. In a typical government shutdown, our troops don’t get paid; they’re on delayed payment,” Speaker Johnson said at a press gaggle in Shreveport. “Schumer is playing partisan politics, and I think it will backfire.”
