Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas) was appointed by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to the Committee on Education and Labor for the 119th Congress. Casar was also unanimously elected by his colleagues on the Committee to serve as Vice Ranking Member.
“I have an idea that Republican politicians might think is radical: labor should be the priority for the Education and Labor Committee — not billionaire donors,” Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas) said. “In the last Congress, the Republican majority passed zero laws requiring higher wages for workers. House Republicans held zero hearings on getting Americans a decent pension, better health care or a union contract. Instead, House Republicans focused entirely on culture war issues in order to divide the American public while the wealthiest people in the world rip us all off.
