Paul Ryan: I'm running for Speaker

“I am going to seek staying on as speaker,” Ryan told WTAQ’s Jerry Bader, while stumping for GOP candidates in Wisconsin. “There’s a lot of unfinished work to do and I think I can do a lot to help our cause and our country. I’ve led us to offer a very comprehensive agenda to take to the country and I want to execute and implement that agenda.”

“This is the typical chatter you have every two years,” he added of recent suggestions on Capitol Hill that he’ll bow out of GOP leadership. “They call it ‘palace intrigue’ in the Hill rags.”
