Rep. Summer Lee Announces Committee Membership for the 119th Congress
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative Summer Lee (PA-12) is excited to announce her updated committee assignments for the 119th Congress. Rep. Lee will join the House Committee on Education and the Workforce while continuing her critical work on the House Oversight Committee.
“Representing Western Pennsylvania means championing our workers, students, and families in every space I can. Joining the Education and Workforce Committee gives us a powerful opportunity to uplift the labor movement that was birthed right here in PA-12—where workers always have and will continue to organize for dignity, fair wages, and respect. This committee is also key to ensuring our schools and universities are resourced to give every kid, from Braddock to Baldwin, the opportunities they deserve to thrive in the classroom and in the workforce.
“From early learning to higher ed, my constituents in Western Pennsylvania care deeply about education. That’s why I’m ready to fight for equitable investments in education, for expanding access to college, and for supporting workers at every stage of their lives. Whether it’s making sure the federal government has workers’ backs during a strike, protecting teachers and nurses from burnout, or keeping college within reach for all families, I’ll bring our district’s needs and values to the table.
“I’m also proud to continue my work on the House Oversight Committee at a time when this work is more important than ever. With Donald Trump and his allies continuing their attacks on our democracy, it’s critical that we hold his administration accountable for corruption, abuses of power, and their ongoing efforts to undermine the will of the people. From ensuring transparency and improvement in government to protecting the voices of working-class families from being drowned out by big money, the Oversight Committee will be on the front lines of defending democracy and advancing justice.
“As I take on these responsibilities, I remain committed to making sure every decision reflects the needs and values of PA-12. Together, we’ll keep fighting for a future where everyone—not just the powerful—has a voice and a fair shot.”
