JUST IN: Virginia Foxx wins race to chair House education panel
The GOP’s Steering Committee, which is tasked with selecting who receives chairmanships and sits on panels, granted Foxx a waiver to run for another term as the top Republican on the committee. The House Republican Conference rules state that members can only serve three terms leading or as the ranking Republican of a committee before they are termed out.
Walberg entered the race in December, launching a challenge against what was expected to be an uncontested race.Every GOP member on the panel signed a letter in November in support of Foxx being granted the waiver. Contested races were initially supposed to take place last year but were delayed amid uncertainty over whether Speaker Kevin McCarthy had the votes to lock down the gavel.
