California Business Roundtable Responds to Removal of Speaker Kevin McCarthy

SACRAMENTO— Rob Lapsley, president of the California Business Roundtable, issued the following statement in response to the U.S. House of Representatives voting to remove Congressman Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House:

"Whether as leader here in California or as Speaker of the House, Congressman Kevin McCarthy has always served with the highest integrity. The actions taken in the House today were clearly designed to ignite and enflame political division and are not in the best interests of the American people and our economy. We strongly urge Congress to immediately go back to doing the work of the people, especially promoting economic stability and growth at this critical time."
