WASHINGTON, DC —Rep. Aguilar, released the following statement on the election of Rep. Ted Lieu as Democratic Vice Chair:

“Ted is a dedicated public servant who served his country in the Air Force and continues to be a leader in the House. I could not ask for a better partner to help lead our Caucus and continue our work to put people over politics. As Kevin McCarthy cuts backroom deals with MAGA Extremists to earn their votes, House Democrats are united and focused on addressing the needs of the American people: lower costs, better paying jobs and safer communities.

“I want to congratulate Reps. Beatty, Dean and Dingell on their well-run campaigns. They are all talented and dedicated colleagues who bring so much to our Caucus. I know that their voices will be an important part of the progress we make together.”
