Conservative Movement Leaders Back Johnson for Speaker Reelection

January 3^rd, 2025

Dear Members of Congress,

We the undersigned conservative organizations and individuals write in support of Speaker Mike Johnson to continue serving as Speaker.

We urge all members of the House Republican Conference to support his swift reelection as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Americans voted overwhelmingly for President Trump and his agenda while entrusting Republicans with control of both the House and Senate. With unified GOP control of government, the 119th Congress has the historic opportunity to enact the Trump agenda and save our country from the damage inflicted by the Biden administration.

Speaker Johnson is the right leader for House Republicans at this important moment in American history.

Maintaining a unified Republican House majority is vital to any organization or individual focused on advancing conservative policy priorities and delivering wins on the Trump agenda. Speaker Johnson has proven his ability to govern with a slim Republican Majority while delivering conservative policy wins and fighting back against the Biden administration. Johnson’s leadership has earned him the trust and support of the conservative movement. 

We cannot afford for any part of the Trump agenda to be delayed. We encourage conservative lawmakers to swiftly reelect Speaker Johnson so we can turn our focus to immediately enacting the Trump agenda.

Onwards,

Grover Norquist
