WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced today that the Steering and Policy Committee has recommended that Congressman Steven Horsford be appointed to the House Committee on Ways and Means and that Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García be appointed to the House Committee on the Judiciary. 

Today, the Steering and Policy Committee has recommended that Rep. Steven Horsford be appointed to the House Committee on Ways and Means. In Congress, Rep. Horsford has been a champion for tax fairness and has fought relentlessly to lower costs, expand affordable housing and defend the hard-earned wages of tipped workers. I am heartened to see Steven rejoin this important committee and know he will be a powerful voice for hardworking American taxpayers in Nevada and across the nation. 

The Steering and Policy Committee has also recommended that Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García be appointed to the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. García has spent his entire career standing for what’s right and fighting for the least, the lost and the left behind in Chicagoland and beyond. I know that he will be a strong voice on this crucial committee and I look forward to continuing to work together to keep our communities safe and fight back against MAGA extremism.
