WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement after former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy announced that he will be leaving the U.S. House of Representatives at the end of his term.

 

“I wish Kevin McCarthy well in his future endeavors to help the conservative cause. Kevin has much to be proud of, rising through the ranks to Minority Leader and Speaker of the House. He navigated the Republican Party through some of the most turbulent periods in recent history, getting results in difficult circumstances.

 

“He will be missed, but I am sure his contributions to the future of the Republican Party will be enormous.”
