House Republicans Want Jasper's Pledge

Several prominent House Republicans have penned a letter to current Speaker of the House Shawn Jasper asking for his commitment to support the person chosen as the nominee for Speaker on Organization Day.

Rep. Bart Fromuth introduced the request:

Mr. Speaker,

Please find the attached letter from myself and 42 of my returning Republican colleagues regarding the upcoming Speaker's race. I've also sent the attached letter to your office at the state house via regular mail.

Thank you and we look forward to your response,

Rep. Bart Fromuth
Bedford

In part, the letter says "Mr. Speaker, will you pledge to support the Republican caucus nominee on Organization Day, and reject any attempt by the Democrats, or otherwise, to nominate you from the floor?"
