Getty Ryan to address conservatives who drove out Boehner The appearance comes as he tries to clinch a budget deal with Democrats.

Speaker Paul Ryan will address some of the House's most conservative lawmakers next week as he tries to clinch a government funding bill that doesn't alienate his right flank.

The Wisconsin Republican is scheduled to speak at the Conservative Opportunity Society's weekly breakfast on Wednesday. That group is led by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who was at the center of the rebellion against former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio.)


The topic of the event, according to a notice sent to lawmakers, is the year ahead in Congress. But Ryan is sure to get many questions about a government funding bill that Congress must pass by Wednesday to avoid a government shutdown. Conservative Republicans want to attach a series of policy riders to the funding bill, including one to tighten restrictions on Syrian refugees seeking to resettle in the United States.

But Ryan will need some Democrats to vote for the omnibus budget bill and party leaders are opposing what they call "poison pill" policy riders.
