Pascrell Honored by Leadership Role in 117th Congress

Appointed by Speaker to Democratic Steering and Policy Committee

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) was today selected by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve another term on the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. For the past two terms, the members of the mid-Atlantic region had selected him as their representative to the committee.

“I am honored for the opportunity to continue serving on the Democratic Party’s foremost leadership panel in the House of Representatives and thank Speaker Pelosi for her confidence in me,” said Rep. Pascrell. “On the Steering and Policy Committee, we will work to meet the crisis at hand, never losing sight of the millions of Americans desperate for help because of Trump’s failed COVID-19 response. We will stand for sustained pandemic support, affordable health care, organized labor, clean government, and economic and racial equality. Ours will be an aggressive agenda that works For The People and proves that government can be a force of good in the lives of working Americans. As part of the Steering Committee I will work urgently every day to enact President-elect Biden’s agenda to bring relief to our nation and build back better the damage of the past four years.”
