Miami Lakes Republican Jose Oliva called for civility among lawmakers as he vowed to continue his party’s push for limited government after being formally elected to serve as House speaker for the next two years.

Oliva, the first speaker from Miami-Dade County since now-U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio held the post for the 2007 and 2008 sessions, maintained that after this year’s contentious elections, ideas and ideology outweigh party label.
