Rep. Virginia Foxx has said she would eliminate the Department of Education if given the chance.
. The House GOP’s steering committee is expected to announce committee chairs in the next few weeks.
“If installed as chair of the House Education and Labor Committee, Foxx has made clear her top priorities are defunding the Department of Education, keeping students saddled with … student debt and lining the pockets of corrupt for-profit colleges,” said Zac Petkanas, senior adviser to the House Accountability War Room, in a statement.
The House Accountability War Room is an independent group of Democrat-aligned strategists that recently formed to keep tabs on extremists in the new House majority. Progressives say tensions, still bristling with MAGA energy and hungry for revenge, and the party establishment over the next two years will reveal to voters just how extreme Republicans have become under the influence of former President Donald Trump and his base of supporters.
