Carlos Curbelo Backs Paul Ryan to be House Speaker

U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., is backing U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., to replace outgoing U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, as speaker of the House. 

This week, Curbelo took to the cable airwaves appearing on the “The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell” to weigh in on the House elections and left no doubt he was behind Ryan. 

“Through his continued ability to work with both Republicans and Democrats, including the White House, I am confident that Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee Paul Ryan is the right person to lead Congress as the next speaker of the House,” Curbelo insisted on Thursday night.
