Steil\u2019s work focuses on \u201cRestoring the People\u2019s House.\u201d Under Speaker Pelosi, access to the U.S. Capitol for the general public was severely limited. One of Steil\u2019s tasks will be to reopen the Capitol to the people it serves.\n\nThe teams are:\n\nCommitment to America Implementation, led by Republican Whip Steve Scalise\n\nOversight and Accountability, led by Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member James Comer and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan\n\nRestoring the People\u2019s House, led by Congressman Bryan Steil\n\nSteil released the following statement following Leader McCarthy\u2019s announcement:\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s past time that we re-open the People\u2019s House. I\u2019m committed to ensuring the House of Representatives is open and accessible to the people we are here to serve. I am eager to get to work with my colleagues on this team for a successful transition into the 118th Congress.\u201d\n\nLeader McCarthy released the following statement on the Transition Teams for the 118th Congress:\n\n\u201cThe House Republican majority is getting right to work. These Transition Teams will ensure we hit the ground running on issues that Democrats have ignored or made worse for the American people under one-party rule, all while shutting out our fellow citizens from the People\u2019s House.\n\nThe Commitment to America details our vision for the majority and we will move to put that into action on Day One. At the same time, our committees will be prepared to immediately start holding this Administration accountable for its incompetence and abuses of power. Finally, unlike the Democrat majority over the past two years, our Republican majority will restore the people\u2019s voice inside the People\u2019s House.\n\nI want to thank each of these Members for their leadership and look forward to working with them over the days and weeks to come.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:24:37Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://steil.house.gov/media/press-releases/steil-tapped-to-house-transition-team-tasked-with-restoring-the-people-s-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4657031279057264, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
