Stauber is behind the lower votes for Jordan

Rep. Pete Stauber breaks from GOP, votes against Republican speaker nominee Jim Jordan

WASHINGTON - Republican U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber voted against the GOP's latest House Speaker nominee on Wednesday as tumult continues to freeze the party.

Stauber, who waved off a question from the Star Tribune about his vote shortly afterward, was among 22 Republican who broke from the party and opposed far-right Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.

In an emailed statement Wednesday afternoon, Stauber said "the American people deserve a working Congress, and we need a Speaker in order to get back to work."

"I respect Jim Jordan and the important work he has done on the Judiciary Committee," Stauber's statement said. "However, after the first vote yesterday, it became clear that he cannot unite our Conference."
