'The responsibility of leading Democrats on the House Oversight Committee during Donald Trump's second term in the White House is a profound and consequential one,' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote to colleagues.
Washington — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York launched her bid Friday to be the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee as the party looks to replace its veteran leaders on several key panels. 'This is not a position I seek lightly. The responsibility of leading Democrats on the House Oversight Committee during Donald Trump's second term in the White House is a profound and consequential one,' the New York Democrat wrote in a letter to colleagues on Friday.
While Democrats will remain in the minority when the new Congress convenes next month, a victory would place Ocasio-Cortez in line to chair the powerful Oversight Committee if Democrats retake the House in 2026, halfway through President-elect Donald Trump's term. The committee led numerous investigations into the first Trump administration after Democrats won the House in 2018. Her candidacy sets up a challenge against Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, who is also seeking to fill Rep.
