WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced today that the Steering and Policy Committee has recommended that Congresswoman LaMonica McIver be appointed to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on Small Business. 

“Today, I am honored to announce that the Steering and Policy Committee has recommended that Rep. LaMonica McIver be appointed to the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Small Business. LaMonica is a proud daughter of Newark and an extraordinary public servant. After becoming the youngest woman ever elected to the Newark Municipal Council, where she rose to become the Council’s President, she has made history again as the first Black woman to represent New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District. 

Rep. McIver will be a powerful advocate for the Garden State and carry on the incredible legacy of the late, great Rep. Donald Payne Jr. I look forward to partnering with her to lower costs, make our communities safer and deliver for hardworking American taxpayers.”
