Election Integrity
Getting our elections right is vital to restoring trust in our system. I am the Chairman of the Committee on House Administration. I am committed to ensuring that our elections are free, fair, and secure. These principles are vital to our democracy. I am on the frontlines in Congress working against misguided proposals, like H.R. 1, that threaten the integrity of our elections.
