Committees
In addition to their other responsibilities, Members of Congress are appointed by the Majority and Minority Leaders to serve on House committees. Committees are small groups of Members, both Democrats and Republicans, who hold committee hearings and debate legislation specific to the focus area of that committee.
A committee is usually the first stop for a bill. So, for example, if a bill is focused on relations with Israel, it will typically be debated by the committee on Foreign Affairs. If a majority of Members of that Committee vote to support the bill, it will go to the House floor, where all Representatives vote.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz serves as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which is the main committee on U.S. foreign relations and diplomacy. Moskowitz is serving as Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence during the 119th Congress. Moskowitz has led on issues related to Israel, the Western Hemisphere, and supporting Ukraine against Russia’s unprovoked war. He believes that we have a responsibility to help protect freedom and democracy worldwide and that the U.S.-Israel relationship and the relationships with other world powers are more critical than ever. As a member of Congress, Jared will work with his colleagues to further strengthen our global strategic relationships.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz also joined the House Committee on the Judiciary in the 119th Congress. He serves on both the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance as well as the Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight. As a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, his work with the Judiciary Committee is largely focused on protecting communities from gun violence and upholding democratic values and institutions.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz previously served on the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, the main investigative and government oversight committee, during the 118th Congress. As a stand-out member on this committee, Moskowitz has routinely called for bipartisan government oversight when needed. This type of oversight included the mishandling of classified documents, steps taken to prevent cyber-attacks, and disasters such as the East Palestine train derailment. However, to the dismay of Moskowitz, the committee conducted no oversight and instead focused on partisan attacks that prevented the committee from doing its job.
