Sessions Statement on Serving as Chairman of the House Committee on Rules in the 115th Congress

I look forward to once again leading this team and effectively working with all of my colleagues in the House to make America great again. Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) today issued the following statement in regard to his reappointment to serve as the Chairman of the House Committee on Rules:

I am honored to serve as the Chairman of the House Committee on Rules for the 115th Congress. As Chairman I have strived to create a more transparent and open process that encourages all members to bring their ideas to the table. In the next Congress I will continue to hold our committee to the highest standard of transparency fairness and accountability. In November the American people made a decision to entrust Republicans with the great responsibility of getting our country back on track. After eight years of the failed policies of President Obama Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid our economy national security and American values have been greatly compromised. Now with a unified government we have a historic opportunity to not only pass leading edge legislation but to actually have these policies signed into law. I look forward to once again leading this team and effectively working with all of my colleagues in the House to make America great again.
