Statement

Today, Democratic members of the House Committee on Ways and Means held an organizational meeting and selected Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ) to serve as Chairman of the Oversight Subcommittee for the remainder of the 116th Congress.

"A fierce advocate for government accountability, Bill Pascrell will undoubtedly bring tremendous vigor to the role of Oversight Subcommittee Chairman," said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA). "I have full confidence that Rep. Pascrell will work tirelessly to ensure the Trump Administration is implementing the laws under Ways and Means' jurisdiction efficiently and according to congressional intent. He steps in at a time when our Committee and nation still acutely feel the loss of previous Oversight Subcommittee Chairman John Lewis, who brought unparalleled gravitas, insight, and heart to this critical position. I am grateful for Congressman Pascrell's willingness to pick up where Rep. Lewis left off, and for his service to this Committee and to the American people."
