Speaker John Boehner (R., OH) stated that House Republicans would continue to focus on creating jobs for Americans in 2014 during the GOP leaders press conference on Tuesday.
Below is a transcript of the statement:
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: Morning, everyone. You know, all during the break I kept hearing from people that they wanted us to focus on the economy. We've all noticed over the last three years that Republicans have had the majority here in the Congress that has been our focus -- jobs, jobs, jobs -- because the American people are still asking the question: Where are the jobs?
And we've passed dozens of bills here in the House that continue to await action in the Senate that would help improve our economy, get Americans back to work and help stimulate higher wages for the American people.
As we continue our efforts over the course of this year, remember, our focus will continue to be on jobs.
