U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement after the announcement that Speaker John Boehner will resign from Congress on October 30, 2015:

“Speaker Boehner served the United States House of Representatives honorably and with great dedication. Under his leadership, the House of Representatives was more transparent and accountable than ever before. Speaker Boehner has dedicated his life to serving this country and advancing a conservative vision and his commitment will be missed in the House of Representatives. I wish him the best of luck in the next chapter of his life. ”
