Press Releases

Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced today that the House Democratic Steering & Policy Committee has recommended that Congresswoman Shontel Brown, who was sworn in on November 4th to represent Ohio’s Eleventh Congressional District, join the House Committee on Agriculture and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform for the 117th Congress.

“Congresswoman Boebert’s repeated, ongoing and targeted Islamophobic comments and actions against another Member of Congress, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, are both deeply offensive and concerning.  This language and behavior are far beneath the standard of integrity, dignity and decency with which the Constitution and our constituents require that we act in the House.  We call upon Congresswoman Boebert to fully retract these comments and refrain from making similar ones going forward."

President Biden’s nomination of Shalanda Young as Director of the Office of Management and Budget is historic and well-deserved.

Thank you very much, Larry.  I accept your kind words on behalf of all of the House Democrats, whose courage and determination made the passage of this legislation possible.

“As House Speaker, I congratulate Federal Reserve Chairman Powell on his nomination to lead the world’s most consequential central bank for a second term.  The House looks forward to continuing to work closely with him to build on Democrats’ progress to create good-paying jobs, lower costs for families, fight inflation and Build Back Better For The People."

Happily, we enter the Thanksgiving Season in a spirit of gratitude and joy, following our passage of the Build Back Better Act!
