House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer expressed sympathy following the announcement that Ranking Member Gerry Connolly’s cancer has returned. Connolly, who has dedicated his career to serving Northern Virginians, has stated he will step down as Ranking Member.
Comer stated, “I’m saddened to hear that Ranking Member Connolly’s cancer has returned. He is a steadfast public servant who has spent his career serving Northern Virginians with honor and integrity. It’s an honor to serve the American people alongside him and I am rooting for him as he battles cancer once again. Our prayers are with Ranking Member Connolly and his family.”
Connolly’s departure will mark the conclusion of his service in the current Republican-majority House Committee.
