LEADER JEFFRIES ANNOUNCES NEW COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced today that the Steering and Policy Committee has recommended that Rep. Becca Balint be assigned to the House Judiciary Committee. 

“Today, I am honored to announce that the Steering and Policy Committee has recommended that Rep. Becca Balint be appointed to the House Judiciary Committee to fill the seat vacated by Rep. David Cicilline. As an educator, a State Senator and now a Member of Congress, Rep. Balint has spent her entire career fighting for the least, the lost and the left behind. As Majority Leader in the Vermont Senate, Becca led the passage of the first gun safety laws in the state’s history, aimed at keeping children and communities safe. She will be a strong voice on the Judiciary Committee and I look forward to working with her to fight back against MAGA extremism and continue putting People Over Politics.”
