A group of (largely) familiar faces have declared themselves candidates for House speaker ahead of a 6 p.m. candidate forum, House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik announced.
Those include:
- Rep. Mike Johnson (La.)
- Rep. Kevin Hern (Okla.)
- Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (Tenn.)
- Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.)
- Rep. Mark Green (Tenn.)
- Rep. Roger Williams (Texas)
Their entrance comes after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer dropped out shortly after landing his party’s nomination earlier Tuesday.
