Congressperson John Faso (R-Kinderhook) released a statement after U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan announced he will not seek re-election: “Paul Ryan has been a dedicated public servant to his district and nation for 20 years. I regret his decision to retire but fully understand his desire to not miss the teenage years of his three children. I wish him and his family well and thank him for his service to the nation.”
