Washington D.C. – Today, House Democrats elected Rep. Jamie Raskin to be Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. In response, Congressional Integrity Project’s Executive Director, Kyle Herrig, said the following:
“We applaud the selection of Jamie Raskin to serve as the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee. Raskin is a champion of democracy and the truth and his excellent work managing Trump’s impeachment and on the January 6th Committee proves he is the perfect person for the job. James Comer and other MAGA Republicans plan on using the Oversight Committee to hold bogus, politically motivated investigations and Raskin will serve as a great counter – fighting for the issues Americans actually care about.”
