On Friday, the House Republican Conference nominated Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House. As the votes were counted, I thought back to the night my race was called last November.<\/p>\n

Having clinched the Republican Majority with our win, I went on Laura Ingraham to talk about the need to hold Biden accountable. As soon as the interview ended, I got a call from Ohio. It was Jim Jordan. He said he saw me on Fox and wanted me to join the Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n

Since that day, I\u2019ve worked closely with Jim and seen the kind of leader he is. He is exceptionally fearless, hard-working, and team-spirited. He has a unique ability to focus on a mission, pursue it strategically and relentlessly, and rally people to the cause.<\/p>\n

Like few others in public life, he has his finger on the pulse of the threats to our liberties and First Amendment freedoms. As Judiciary Chair, he\u2019s exposed corruption and pursued accountability like no one else. Tomorrow at noon, the full House will vote to make him our Speaker.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Newsom has signed an\u00a0absurd law<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to \u201cpermanently ban\u201d watering grass at California businesses. Earlier this year, 20,000 cubic feet of water was released into the ocean per second. I\u2019m sponsoring the California Water Act to build storage and end scarcity.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also introduced legislation to stop Adam Schiff from using\u00a0Newsom\u2019s chicanery<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to evade campaign finance laws. And at a Judiciary field hearing, I called attention to the \u201cabsolutely staggering<\/span><\/a>\u201d rise in crime in places like DC, LA, and SF.<\/p>\n

Finally, I\u2019ve\u00a0called on Biden<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to step up his lackluster evacuation efforts bringing Americans home from Israel. And I\u2019ve sent\u00a0a letter<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to the President of Harvard, along with Elise Stefanik and other alumni in Congress, calling out the University\u2019s \u201cabhorrent\u201d response to the Hamas attack.<\/p>\n
