A northern Illinois congressman is NOT throwing his name into consideration for the Speaker of the House, but he does have a few suggestions. Republican Representative Randy Hultgren says before his colleagues pick a leader, they need to be “leadable.”
“I would love to see Trey Gowdy do it. I think he is a really good guy, very smart, great background as a prosecutor.”
He also supports Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, but says he doesn’t blame either if they aren’t up to it.
“I really do believe whoever the next Speaker is, that it will be a significantly different style of allowing members to be able to hear, and allowing the process to work, and empowering committees.”
His idea to get colleagues on the same page would be to get away to a place with no phones, no media, and no staff.
