WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement commending the House for unanimously passing the Hire More Heroes Act sponsored by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), the first of three jobs bills the House will act on during this first week of the new American Congress:

This is just the first of many jobs bills the House will be advancing as we continue our commitment to put the American people's priorities – jobs and the economy - first."
