Congressman Kweisi Mfume Statement on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Vacancy

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kweisi Mfume (MD-07) issued the following statement regarding his candidacy for the Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member vacancy:

“The preservation of the institution and the success of the Democratic Caucus are paramount to me. With an insurmountable task ahead and for the unity of our Party, I will not seek the position of Ranking Member on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Steve Lynch and Robert Garcia are friends who I have the utmost respect for, either of which will lead our Party well as we move forward to blunt the Trump administration and to fight for justice and civil rights for all Americans,” said Congressman Kweisi Mfume.
