             RESIGNATION FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
resignation from the House of Representatives:

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, January 2, 2024.
     Hon. Mike Johnson,
     Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Speaker Johnson, I hereby submit my resignation, 
     effective at the end of the day, January 21, 2024, as United 
     States Representative of Ohio's 6th Congressional District. 
     It has been an honor and privilege serving the people of 
     Eastern and Southeastern Ohio in the U.S. House for the last 
     13-plus years.
       The hardworking men and women who call the 6th District, 
     old and new, home--from Youngstown to Portsmouth, from St. 
     Clairsville to Zanesville--are proud and patriotic. But they 
     are too often disregarded by America's elites, be they 
     political, media, corporate and/or academic. These blue-
     collar communities, like countless others in ``flyover 
     country'', were critical in building our great nation and 
     will play a pivotal role in America's future. I am extremely 
     humbled to have been repeatedly elected to serve them.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Bill Johnson,
     Member of Congress.
                                  ____

                                    Congress of the United States,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, January 2, 2024.
     Hon. Mike DeWine
     Governor, State of Ohio,
     Columbus, OH.
       Dear Governor DeWine, I write to inform you that I will be 
     resigning my 6th Congressional District seat in the U.S. 
     House of Representatives on January 21, 2024, at the end of 
     the day. It has been an honor and privilege serving the 
     people of Eastern and Southeastern Ohio in the U.S. House for 
     the last 13-plus years.
       As you well know, the hardworking men and women who call 
     the 6th District, old and new, home--from Youngstown to 
     Portsmouth, from St. Clairsville to Zanesville--are proud and 
     patriotic. But they are too often disregarded by America's 
     elites, be they political, media, corporate and/or academic. 
     These blue-collar communities, like countless others in 
     ``flyover country'', were critical in building our great 
     nation and will play a pivotal role in America's future. I am 
     extremely humbled to have been repeatedly elected to serve 
     them.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Bill Johnson,
     Member of Congress.
