Foxx Statement on Being Named Chairwoman of the Rules Committee

WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement after being selected by House Speaker Mike Johnson to serve as Chairwoman of the House Committee on Rules for the 119 th Congress – a position specifically designated by the Speaker of the House.  One of the oldest committees in the House, the powerful Committee on Rules can influence legislation at virtually every point of the process – from introduction, to a bill’s content, and even terms of debate on the floor. “I am humbled and honored to have been selected as Chairwoman of the House Rules Committee – and I thank Speaker Johnson for placing his trust and faith in me to lead this esteemed committee. On November 5 th , the American people gave President Trump and Congressional Republicans a mandate to turn our Republic around and move towards a brighter and more prosperous future. Our Republican majority in the People’s House will achieve that end, and we will deliver upon President Trump’s agenda with diligence and expediency. I look forward to contributing to this great American turnaround – let’s get to work.” ###
