Rep. Andrew Garbarino of New York has been selected as the new chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, succeeding Mark Green after his sudden resignation.
Garbarino emerged victorious from a competitive field of four Republican candidates, reflecting a significant internal contest within the GOP. His appointment is seen as a win for centrist Republicans and places him at the forefront of key issues such as immigration policy, border security, and cybersecurity. The decision is expected to influence the direction of the committee, especially as it prepares for potential policy shifts in a possible second Trump administration.
Speaker Johnson and other GOP leaders have publicly praised Garbarino's selection, highlighting his experience in cybersecurity policy.
