“I stand in strong support of my colleague, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, who is being unfairly targeted for fulfilling one of the most sacred responsibilities we hold as Members of Congress: oversight.

“Oversight is not a political weapon—it is a constitutional duty. It is how we protect the public trust, ensure transparency, and hold those in power accountable to the people we serve.

“Congresswoman McIver has demonstrated courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to that duty. The political attacks against her are not only unjust—they are a threat to the foundational principles of checks and balances that safeguard our democracy.

“Let it be known: I stand with Congresswoman McIver. And I stand with every Member who refuses to be intimidated for doing the job they were elected to do.

“Oversight is not obstruction. It is leadership. It is patriotism. And it must be defended.”
