Durbin, Graham Announce Subcommittees and Subcommittee Chairs & Ranking Members of Senate Judiciary Committee
WASHINGTON – U.S.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chair of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Ranking Member of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, today announced the establishment of the Subcommittees of
the Senate Judiciary Committee for the 118th Congress, and the
assignment of Chairs, Ranking Members, and members to these
Subcommittees.
“During the 117th
Congress, the Judiciary Committee held 41 subcommittee hearings on issues
important to Americans—strengthening antitrust enforcement, reforming our
broken immigration system, ending the gun violence epidemic, cracking down on
big tech, making our criminal justice system fairer, and more—thanks to the
leadership and vision of our Subcommittee Chairs,” Durbin said.
“I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in the 118th
Congress.”
“I look forward to
assuming the role of Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. I
appreciate the good and hard work of my predecessor Senator Grassley. I will do
my best to work with Republicans and Democrats, and find common ground on
issues like social media reform. I am hoping the committee will engage in
meaningful oversight of a broken border and we can move forward regarding
solutions. I will also appropriately challenge unqualified judicial nominees
and vigorously defend the blue slip process for district court judges,” said Graham.
“Divided government presents its challenges, but also
opportunities.”
