Ryan to deliver GOP response to State of the Union
Republican congressional leaders announced today that U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan will deliver the GOP's response to President Obama's State of the Union address.
Ryan, of Janesville, will address the nation immediately following the president's address next Tuesday from the House Budget Committee hearing room, where he serves as chairman.
"Paul Ryan is uniquely qualified to address the state of our economy and the fiscal challenges that face our country,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement. “We’re broke, and decisive action is needed to help our economy get back to creating jobs and end the spending binge in Washington that threatens our children’s future.
Ryan thanked GOP leadership for a "unique opportunity," said he will outline "a vision for a future that fulfills the uniquely American legacy of leaving the next generation with a stronger, more prosperous nation.”
