Nowell Clarifies Comments on Speaker’s Race

From a press release:

Following the publication of Remarks made by the new Representative Elect for House District 43, Russ Nowell, Russ seeks to clarify his opinion on the race for Speaker of the House. States Nowell “While I respect both Billy McCoy and Jeff Smith, and look forward to serving with both, after talking with members and incoming freshmen it is my understanding that Billy McCoy has more than the 62 votes needed to be elected Speaker. As I have said previously, it is in the best interest of my district to vote with the winning side.”
