Rep. Andrew Garbarino, a Republican from New York, has been selected as the new chair of the powerful House Homeland Security Committee, succeeding Rep.
Mark Green following his sudden resignation. Garbarino's appointment comes after a competitive race among several GOP lawmakers, positioning him at the forefront of key issues such as immigration policy, border security, and cybersecurity. His leadership is expected to influence the direction of the committee, especially as it oversees the Department of Homeland Security and navigates potential changes under a possible second Trump administration. The decision is seen as a win for centrist Republicans and has drawn praise from House Speaker Johnson.
Garbarino's background in cybersecurity policy is likely to shape legislative priorities in the coming months.
