Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) on becoming the committee’s chairman. “I congratulate Rep. Chaffetz on his new chairmanship, and I look forward to meeting with him and introducing him to the mayor-elect of the District of Columbia, Muriel Bowser. The new chairman has already visited the ranking member’s district, and considering the committee’s jurisdiction over D.C. matters, I will shortly invite him to visit the District, which is even closer. The committee’s major concerns have always been national issues, but some D.C. matters that require committee consideration arise every year. Since I have been in Congress, the chairmen of this committee have adopted a tradition of respecting D.C.’s right to self-government, consistent with their own support of federalism and local control. I have every reason to believe and hope that tradition will continue under Chairman-elect Chaffetz.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
