U.S. Rep.-elect Jeff Van Drew (D-2) today threw in with 16 other Democrats formally promising to vote against Nancy Pelosi’s bid to be House speaker.

“In a letter that will be sent to their Democratic colleagues, the 17 Democrats pledge to oppose Pelosi in the caucus and floor votes for speaker,” according to a report in the Washington Examiner. “The move to oust Pelosi comes two weeks after Democrats seized control of the House with their largest majority since 1974.”

Van Drew is the only member of the New Jersey Congressional delegation who signed onto the letter.
