WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) launched a long-shot campaign Sunday for speaker of the House of Representatives, in the latest episode of the conservative rebellion against current Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

House members are set to vote for their next speaker on Tuesday, with Boehner heavily favored to win. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) said Saturday that he is willing to serve as an alternative to Boehner. In addition, Reps. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) have stated that they will oppose Boehner's re-election.

Gohmert's latest objection to Boehner -- although certainly not his only one -- was the speaker's decision to pass the so-called "cromnibus" spending bill in December without including a measure to block President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration.

"It was a terrible strategy and it follows a number of years of broken promises," Gohmert said on "Fox & Friends" while announcing his candidacy. "It's time for a change."

The congressman said that if he were elected speaker, he would fight to end "amnesty" for immigrants and Obamacare. He added that he would make sure members got a voice, going so far as to imply Boehner was acting like a "dictator."

"We will go through regular committee process so everybody, every representative from both parties, will have a chance to participate in the process and not have a dictator running things, deciding who's the chairman, who gets what committee, what bills come to the floor," Gohmert said.
