Florida Congressman Cory Mills (R), was appointed to Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence.
Mills, a military veteran who represents Florida’s 7th District, was nominated by fellow veteran and Florida Republican Congressman Brian Mast, who is Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
“I am honored to be named Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence as part of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,” Rep. Mills said. “America is facing unprecedented challenges on the world stage, and our adversaries have been emboldened by the disastrous foreign policies of the Biden Administration. These policies led to the chaotic and botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, Americans left behind in Israel after Hamas, and gangs taking over Haiti. The pattern of abandonment and demonstrated weaknesses empowered the axis of evil (China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran), along with terrorist proxies, to act with greater aggression. As Chairman, I will ensure this subcommittee fulfills its mission to hold those accountable for these failures and to restore the strength of the America First policies. Through vigilant oversight, we will protect the safety and interests of the American people, rebuild trust with our allies, be good stewards of American taxpayer funding, and ensure our foreign policies reflect the values and priorities of our nation. I look forward to working alongside fellow combat veteran Chairman Brian Mast (FL-21) to deliver transparency, uphold the integrity of our government, and protect America, Americans, and American interests.”
Rep. Mast touted Mills’ record as he made the announcement of his appointment.
““I look forward to working shoulder to shoulder with these subcommittee chairmen and all members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,” Mast said. “America is being tested like never before and Republicans on this committee are ready to meet the moment. We will stand strong and united as we get to work to carry out our clear mandate to fix the State Department and ensure every dollar and every diplomat we authorize puts America First.”
