Congresswoman Simon Appointed to the House Oversight and Government Reform’s Committee’s Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (D-CA-12) was appointed to the House Oversight Committee's Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs. Of the appointment, she stated:

"I'm honored to join the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs.

"Oversight is one of Congress's most important responsibilities. Under the cruel Trump Administration, our foreign policy decisions have too often prioritized bombs over full bellies and political expediency over diplomacy. Members of Congress have a responsibility to ask hard questions about how taxpayer dollars are being spent, whether veterans and military families are receiving the support they deserve, and how U.S. actions abroad impact civilian lives, humanitarian efforts, and global stability.

"I come to this work grounded in the legacy of our district and in the belief that real safety means housing, healthcare, communities free from violence, and an equitable government that is accountable to the people it serves."
