Robert Garcia to lead House Oversight Committee Democrats

Plot twist!

California Rep. Robert Garcia will be the next top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee after beating Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch in a 150-63 caucus vote Tuesday.

Garcia, 47, won a first-ballot majority after winning the backing of the caucus’ powerful Steering and Policy Committee on Monday evening.

“We’ll get immediately to work,” he told reporters following the vote. First on the agenda, Garcia added, was meeting with the Oversight Committee staff “to let them know that we’re ready for consistent leadership.”
