"Mike Johnson's Impact as House Speaker: Unanswered Questions and Partisan Divide Widens"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO
House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced his endorsement of the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), a powerful super PAC aligned with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Johnson plans to invest significant time and energy in fundraising for the group, signaling continuity in a major campaign entity for Republican donors. CLF, which spent over $250 million in the 2022 elections, will retain its president, Dan Conston, who has extensive fundraising experience and personal relationships with key donors. Johnson's decision to embrace CLF's existing infrastructure and team demonstrates his reliance on the group's proven success in helping Republicans win House races.
