Congressman Guest Firmly Opposes Pelosi's Select Committee

Press Release

Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) voted against the resolution to establish a select committee to examine the events of January 6th.

"I am firmly opposing Speaker Pelosi's Select Committee to "investigate' the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Speaker Pelosi's Select Committee is set up to operate more like the partisan impeachment process than a real investigation, and it will only be used to attack the political opponents of the Democratic Party."

As written, the select committee will be composed of 13 members, all of whom will be selected by Speaker Pelosi, although she will consult with Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on five of the appointees. The committee is expected to be run almost exclusively by House Democrats, will be given the power of subpoena, and is not bound to a deadline within which to present findings.

Because the resolution establishes a House of Representatives select committee, the resolution does not require Senate approval.
