"I am proud to receive the support of the Steering and Policy Committee today to lead the House Committee on the Judiciary as Chairman in the 116th Congress. This is a critical time in our nation’s history, and for the House Judiciary Committee as we head into the new Congress, and I look forward to working with my colleagues as we fight to protect the rule of law, strengthen our safety and security from enemies foreign and domestic, shield Americans’ rights and liberties from encroachment, and guarantee that all people, no matter their age, race, gender, religion, ability, finances, nationality, or sexual orientation, are treated fairly and equally."
