Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern, R-Okla., was one of the first GOP lawmakers to put his hat in the ring on Friday afternoon.
“We must unify and do it fast,” Hern said in a statement.
“We need a different type of leader who has a proven track record of success, which is why I’m running for Speaker of the House.”
Retired Marine Corps General Jack Bergman said, “I don’t leave the battlefield in the middle of the fight, and I make sure that everybody on my left and right on that battlefield is coalesced as a team to win the fight.” (Trending: Devastating New Poll For Joe Biden)
“I believe with my 40 years of experience, the highest level of leadership in the Marine Corps, my civilian experience… my dedication over my life to service and our country — not this country, our country — is the kind of leadership that the conservative movement needs.”
Rep. Byron Donalds said, “Under my leadership, the House will lead the charge to advance a simple objective: put the American people first, keep the safe, and make their lives easier.”
Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, told reporters he was “seriously considering” a run for speaker.
“We’ve discussed it, and we were praying about it, and a number of members have asked us to consider it,” Arrington said.
