After six failed votes, the U.S. House adjourns without a speaker and will have a 7th vote on Thursday.
Congressman-elect, Juan Ciscomani for U.S. Congressional District 6, is one of the Republicans consistently voting for Rep. Kevin McCarthy to be the Speaker of the House.
Rep. Paul Gosar, is one of the 20 Republicans who has not voted for McCarthy. He started with Rep. Andy Biggs. “There's about 20 people that are not voting with the majority of Republicans, with the vast majority of Republicans. Less than 10%, and that's causing issues for the caucus and for our country in order because we were not able to get to work without us selecting a speaker,” said Rep.- elect Ciscomani.
One of the legislative priorities is the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act- a bill that would take away the increase in funding to the IRS.
