Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.) has been selected as the new chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, succeeding Mark Green after his sudden resignation.
Garbarino emerged victorious in a competitive race among four Republican contenders, positioning him at the forefront of congressional oversight on key issues like immigration, border security, and cybersecurity. His appointment is seen as a win for centrist Republicans and places him in a pivotal role as the committee prepares for potential policy shifts under a possible second Trump administration. The decision also means other contenders, such as Reps. Clay Higgins and Michael Guest, will remain in their current committee roles.
Garbarino's leadership is expected to shape the committee's approach to pressing national security and technology challenges.
