Rep. Lofgren Releases Statement on Selection as Chair of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct

Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) today released the following statement in response to her selection as Chair of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.

"I'm honored to have been selected to chair the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren. "Having served for six years as a member of the committee earlier in my Congressional tenure, I've seen firsthand the immensely important role it plays. Without the public's trust and confidence, Government loses its legitimacy. The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct exists to ensure that the House of Representatives maintains that trust and confidence, and in turn its legitimacy.

The American people deserve a Congress that holds their interest above all others. I pledge to work in a bipartisan manner to ensure that the House of Representatives maintains the highest of ethical standards and holds the public interest above all.
