Friend,

I’m reaching out to you not just as the Speaker, but simply as Mike.

I’m sitting at my desk, and the weight of the road ahead is heavy. I’ve spent the last few hours looking at the map of our country, seeing just how thin the line is between protecting our values and losing them forever.

I’ve written down exactly what I’m feeling—and why I believe you are essential to holding this movement together. I haven't shared this with the media. This is for you.

Please, will you read my personal letter?

I need to know I’m not walking this path alone.

With humility, 

Mike Johnson
