Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), the influential chairman of the House Budget Committee, swatted down rumors Monday that he was mulling a White House bid.

“I sincerely appreciate the support from those eager to chart a brighter future for the next generation.  While humbled by the encouragement, I have not changed my mind, and therefore I am not seeking our party’s nomination for President,” Ryan said in a statement.

Ryan added that he was hopeful his party would nominate a “candidate committed to a pro-growth agenda of reform that restores the promise and prosperity of our exceptional nation.”
