Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson proclaimed the House was back in business Wednesday after winning the gavel following three weeks of paralysis in the lower chamber without a speaker.

“To our allies around the world, know that this body of lawmakers is reporting again to our duty stations,” the Louisiana Republican said. “Let the enemies of freedom around the world hear us loud and clear: the People’s House is back in business.”

“We owe that to the people. And I want to make this commitment to you, to my colleagues here and on the other side of the aisle as well. My office is going to be known for trust and transparency and accountability, for good stewardship of the people’s treasure,” he said. Despite the stormy circumstances related to his elevation to become speaker, his remarks to lawmakers centered around his faith and that it was up to each lawmaker to help repair the public’s trust in the institution.
