DC: Incoming House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Friday night the members who would serve as the conference’s ranking members in several more committees.
Leader McCarthy appointed Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole as Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee and Texas Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant as Ranking Member of the House Ethics Committee.
“Congressman Cole is a valued colleague and a friend. We have worked together in Congress on issues like the authorization for the use of military force and side-by-side in the Rules Committee for years now. He’s a fierce defender of his ideas who cares deeply about this institution,” Massachusetts Democratic Rep. James McGovern, incoming Chairman of the committee said in a statement.
“We haven’t always agreed, but Congressman Cole is proof that you can disagree without being disagreeable. I congratulate him on being named ranking member of the Rules Committee and look forward to continuing to work with him next Congress.”
Additionally, McCarthy appointed California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes as ranking member for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Illinois Republican Rep. Rodney Davis to serve as ranking member for the House Administration Committee. more
