AOC Nabs Number 2 Spot on House Oversight Committee

Washington Examiner

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) confirmed she locked down the Democrats’ No. 2 slot on the House Oversight Committee Monday evening.

She will serve as second in command for House Democrats under ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), with whom she has a close working relationship. This means that she will likely play a more pronounced role in helping to craft the party’s strategy and messaging as it navigates the GOP’s use of the panel to investigate President Joe Biden and his family.

“Excited and humbled to share that this evening I was selected to serve as @RepRaskin’s #2 on the House Oversight Committee.
