Rep. Gohmert Sworn In for Third Congressional Term
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert (TX-01) was sworn in today to his third term as the 111th United States Congress convened on its first day of session. Gohmert released the following statement shortly following the ceremony:
“It is a humbling honor to be allowed to serve east Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives for another two-year term. Having been born and raised in east Texas, its well-being remains dear to my heart, and I want nothing more than to be an accurate voice representing east Texas sensibility in Washington D.C. East Texans are great about providing plenty of feedback so that I am better able to represent their interests as well as those of our nation.
“Though some adjustments must be made as we settle into both a new Congress and new Administration, the issues facing us are far too important not to address. This is a crucial moment in time when our government must not fail to once again set a proper example for the world as to how difficult problems can be addressed without abandoning the principles that made us the greatest nation. Uniting for the country’s good behind our founding fundamentals is particularly important.”
Rep. Gohmert will continue to serve on his previous House committee assignments of Judiciary, Natural Resources, and Small Business along with numerous related subcommittees. He can be reached at www.gohmert.house.gov.
