This is a view of the East Front of the U.S. Capitol. Arizona lawmakers voted on party lines on Oct. 25, 2023, as the U.S. House elected a new speaker, ending three weeks of what one representative called “weeks of political paralysis and dysfunction” in Congress. The 220-209 vote to elect Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., also ended three weeks of GOP division that began with the ouster of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was voted out by all Democrats and eight Republicans – including Arizona Reps. Andy Biggs of Gilbert and Eli Crane of Oro Valley. (Photo courtesy of Architect of the Capitol)
