August 10, 2016

National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden issued the following statement on Wisconsin’s 1st District primary results:

“Congratulations to Speaker Paul Ryan on his decisive primary win this evening. Paul’s overwhelming victory demonstrates that the people of Wisconsin trust him to be their voice in Washington who protects them from the failed policies of Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats.

“Through Paul’s work as Speaker, the people of Wisconsin’s 1st District and people all across America have a visionary leader who is not afraid to walk the walk. Under Paul’s leadership, House Republicans have laid out the ‘A Better Way’ agenda that proposes bold ideas to address the challenges that we as a nation are facing.

“I am proud to have served alongside Paul since we were both elected in 1998, and I look forward to working with him in the next Congress as he continues charting a path to bring our country back to prosperity.”
