Wasserman Schultz to Serve on Weaponization and Appropriations Panels

Washington, February 1, 2023
We need to build on our work to cut health and energy costs. However, Democrats will not allow Republicans to deploy Select Subcommittees to poison the public mind with unfounded conspiracy theories or fritter away taxpayer dollars defiling federal employees for doing their job, all just to defend Trump insurrectionists.
 

Washington, DC – Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced the appointment of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Her re-appointment to the House Appropriations Committee was also formally announced. In response, Wasserman Schultz released the following statement:

“Republicans refuse to focus on the kitchen table issues all Americans face and insist on wasting taxpayer resources to protect Donald Trump and other architects and enablers of his unsuccessful election insurrection,” said Wasserman Schultz. “We need to build on our work to cut health and energy costs. However, Democrats will not allow Republicans to deploy Select Subcommittees to poison the public mind with unfounded conspiracy theories or fritter away taxpayer dollars defiling federal employees for doing their job, all just to defend Trump insurrectionists.”

Wasserman Schultz will retain her positions on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, where she will be the Ranking Member on the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, and she will also continue to serve on the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration Subcommittee and the Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. Her role on this influential House Appropriations Committee has resulted in tremendous benefits for her South Florida community and the nation.
