House Speaker Mike Johnson has pledged to focus on three key initiatives if reelected, emphasizing transparency and accountability in government spending and operations.
House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to implement three initiatives if he is reelected as Speaker of the House. None of the initiatives include promises on committee appointments or changes in House rules, key aspects that are often negotiated before a Speaker is elected.1.
Create a working group comprised of independent experts – not corrupted by lobbyists and special interests – to work with DOGE and our committees on implementing recommended government and spending reforms to protect the American taxpayer. 2. Task that working group with reviewing existing audits of federal agencies and entities created by Congress – and issuing a report to my office for public release. 3. Request House committees undertake aggressive authorizations and appropriations reviews, including providing additional resources where needed, to expose irresponsible or illegal practices and hold agencies/individuals accountable that have weaponized government against the American people.Not all House Republicans are impressed with Johnson, who tried in December to pass a huge spending bill filled with pork. A much smaller bill became law with Democrat support after Trump pressured Johnson to reduce its size. Previously, Johnson most notably rushed through a reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) with few revisions or measures to protect American citizens from a weaponized Deep State.
