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.
