Dr. Paul to Serve as Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee

WASHINGTON, D.C. -Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced he will serve as the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee during the 119th United States Congress, once ratified by Republican members.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as 15th Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in the modern era. I chose to chair this Committee over another because I believe that, for the health of our republic, Congress must stand up once again for its constitutional role. This Committee's mission of oversight and investigations is critical to Congress reasserting itself. Our first hearing will examine reinstating the successful Remain in Mexico policy from the first Trump Administration. We will also expeditiously move President Trump's critical nominees, including Governor Kristi Noem, in time for Inauguration Day. I look forward to continuing the storied history of this Committee's leadership in consequential bipartisan oversight and investigations," said Dr. Paul.
