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 national security issues, including immigration and cybersecurity. His leadership is expected to influence the direction of the committee, especially as it oversees the Department of Homeland Security and shapes policy ahead of the 2024 elections. The decision is seen as a win for centrist Republicans and has drawn praise from House Speaker Johnson.
Garbarino's tenure will likely focus on renewing critical cybersecurity laws and addressing border security challenges.
