Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) announced she will serve as Ranking Member for the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee during the 119th Congress. Congresswoman Ramirez returns to the committee after successfully introducing and passing legislation to restore education benefits for defrauded veterans during the last Congress.  “The Trump Administration and DOGE’s mission to paint vital VA services as a money drain is not a coincidence. Theirs is a laser-focused effort to privatize and dismantle the best blueprint we have to implement people-centered policies popular among working Americans – from health care to housing to education. As the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I am ready to fight against their efforts to dismantle the organized labor force, divert money to the pockets of Trump’s billionaire friends, and convince us that healthcare and housing for all are impossibilities,” said Congresswoman Ramirez. The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations has oversight and investigative jurisdiction over veterans’ matters generally, information technology and procurement generally, and over such matters as may be referred to the Subcommittee by the Chair of the full Committee for its oversight or investigation and for its appropriate recommendations. The Subcommittee has legislative jurisdiction over such bills or resolutions as may be referred to it by the Chair of the full Committee.
