At a House Democratic press briefing on Tuesday, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) was asked about Rep. Gerry Connolly stepping down from Oversight leadership due to his health.
Transcript
00:01Now that Congressman Connolly is stepping aside on oversight, can you walk us through the process of replacing him?
00:07Will there be an election? What's the timeline? And would that be a caucus-wide vote?
00:12There's no vacancy in the oversight committee.
00:15First of all, Jerry Connolly has spent 30 years representing Northern Virginia.
00:20He is an amazing public servant. He continues his work.
00:25We wish him the best.
00:27He's been incredibly honest and transparent about his battle with cancer.
00:32At this moment, as you mentioned, he will be stepping aside.
00:36We will be conducting ourselves in a way that he desires, that he and the committee desire,
00:42and that is for leadership to step up and help run the meetings as well.
00:48And we heard a presentation from Representative Lynch this morning on behalf of the oversight committee,
00:53but there's no vacancy at the committee. That's our position.
