Within the Congress, Tom has also championed the fight against human rights abuses carried out by the CCP, launching the Congressional Uyghur Caucus and serving on the Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of China. He will be an important and strong voice for American values on the Select Committee."

The Select Committee examines the economic, technological, and security challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party and develops bipartisan recommendations to strengthen America's competitive position globally.
