Foundation for Government Accountability congratulates Mike Johnson on reelection

Today, the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) extended its congratulations to Mike Johnson on his reelection as Speaker of the House. With this role, Speaker Johnson will lead the House of Representatives during the 119th Congress, alongside a Republican Senate and president, forming a unified government. This alignment is seen as an opportunity to advance policies aimed at empowering individuals, reducing government dependency, and promoting economic freedom.

Tarren Bragdon, President and CEO of FGA, expressed confidence in Johnson's leadership: “Speaker Johnson led his conference admirably through a tumultuous period at the end of the Biden presidency. He returns as speaker with a strong Republican majority and powerful mandate from the American people. Now, the real work begins.” Bragdon emphasized that voters have sent a Republican trifecta to Washington with expectations to reinvigorate the American Dream.

Bragdon further stated, “FGA looks forward to working with Speaker Johnson to advance policies that expand American opportunity, create a smaller, more accountable government, and improve the lives of millions of Americans through the life-changing power of work.”

The Foundation for Government Accountability is a non-profit think tank focused on public policy solutions designed to help Americans achieve their dreams by fostering opportunities.
