Dem Women’s Caucus Statement on Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Today, Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Chair Lois Frankel issued the following statement on House Republicans electing Rep. Mike Johnson to serve as Speaker of the House.  

“House Republicans’ new Speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson, is a MAGA extremist through and through. While Democrats have worked to lower costs for working women, Mike Johnson has opposed efforts to make child care more affordable, and wants to cut Medicare and Social Security and ban abortion nationwide.

“The Democratic Women’s Caucus unanimously voted no—because a vote for Speaker Johnson was a vote against women.”
