Garbarino Selected To Lead Powerful Homeland Security Committee
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02) has been selected as the next Chairman of the powerful House Committee on Homeland Security. He will be the seventh Member to hold this position since the Committee was first established as a Select Committee in 2002 and later constituted as a Standing Committee in 2005.
“I am honored to have earned the trust and confidence of my colleagues to lead the House Committee on Homeland Security. As a lifelong New Yorker and representative of a district shaped by 9/11, I understand the stakes of this responsibility. ‘Never forget’ is more than a slogan. It is a commitment I have carried with me throughout my entire adult life and one that will continue to drive my work as Chairman,” said Congressman Garbarino.
“We have serious work ahead of us. Securing the border, confronting terrorism, strengthening our cybersecurity, and hardening our national defenses are all critical to keeping Americans safe. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the committee to take on these challenges and deliver on the mission the American people expect us to carry out,” Garbarino continued.
Congressman Garbarino has served on the Homeland Security Committee since entering office in the 117th Congress. He was selected to chair the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection in the 118th Congress, after previously serving as its Ranking Member.
