It is with great pride in our Democratic Caucus that I write today to inform you of my appointments to key select committees for the 118th Congress. Each of these committees will benefit greatly from the vision, skill and expertise of our members and I am grateful to each of them for their willingness to serve the Caucus, the Congress and the Country in this capacity.

Under the leadership of our four Ranking Members, House Democrats will endeavor to work in a bipartisan fashion where possible and will also stand up to extremism from the other side of the aisle wherever and whenever necessary. These leaders reflect the tremendous depth of talent and experience within our Caucus:

As we begin the new Congress, it remains my goal to prioritize and value input from every corner of the Caucus so we may unleash the full potential of our team. The members of the select committees reflect the tremendous experience, background and ability of the House Democratic Caucus, and authentically represent the gorgeous mosaic of the American people.
