U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, (D-8) said he was humbled to be elected unanimously by the House Democratic Caucus as the ranking (minority) member of the House Judiciary Committee in the upcoming U.S. Congressional session.
“I’m ready to lead Democrats in our front-line defense of democracy and freedom,” Raskin posted on social media.
“As Democrats, our historic assignment now is to stand in the breach to advance the legislation, amendments and arguments that will block a further descent into MAGA chaos. Democrats need to maintain the integrity of our Constitutional order to advance a positive agenda for the common good.” said the Takoma Park resident.
