While the last House session is still fresh in everyone’s mind, I want to take the opportunity to give my perspective on both the process and substance of HB1, HB2 and HB282. When I ran for Speaker this term, I attempted to keep the issues internally and within our caucus rather than putting it out into the public while keeping the race as “clean” as possible. My goal was to restore “Trust and Integrity” back into our Republican House caucus and eliminate the bad policy/process/procedural decisions I had witnessed during my previous four terms, especially during my time as Senior Advisor in the Majority Office. Going forward, I intend to illuminate any negative actions of leadership as examples of why I ran. Never forget, the process and procedure at times is as, if not more, important for attaining the substance.
