Carlos Curbelo: John Boehner's Resignation a 'Major Loss for Congress'

Republican congressmen from Florida may have been at the heart of opposition to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in the GOP caucus but U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., said the Ohio Republicans’s resignation will be a “major loss” and offered praise for him on Friday. 

"This is a major loss for Congress as an institution and is particularly painful for House Republicans,” Curbelo said on Friday. “No one has worked harder for the American people and no one has worked harder to build our majority than Speaker John Boehner. He is one of the most decent, caring people I have ever met, and I will miss him every day."
