Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) has been selected as the new chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, succeeding Rep. Mark Green. Garbarino's appointment follows a competitive race among four Republican lawmakers and positions him at the forefront of key national security issues, including immigration policy and cybersecurity.
His leadership comes as Congress faces critical decisions on renewing cybersecurity laws and shaping the GOP's approach to border security, especially with the possibility of a second Trump administration. The move is seen as a win for centrist Republicans and is expected to influence the direction of the committee's oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker Johnson and other GOP leaders have publicly praised Garbarino's selection.
