McCarthy announces GOP members of Intelligence and Rules committees

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the names of the GOP members of key House committees on Monday evening. 

"Under Democrat-control, House committees have been used to target their political opponents and reward their allies at the expense of addressing real concerns to our country. That ends with the new House Republican majority," said McCarthy in a statement. "The members on these committees will work to shift power back to the American people by providing oversight, transparency, and will stay laser-focused on getting ahead of our national threats."

The Intelligence Committee members McCarthy announced include:

Chairman Rep. Michael Turner of Ohio, Rep. Brad Wenstrup of Ohio, Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah, Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, Rep. Trent Kelly of Mississippi, Rep.

Mike Waltz of Florida and Rep. Mike Garcia of California.
