Capito Selected To Serve On GOP Transition Team

Today, Congressman Greg Walden R-OR, Chairman of the House GOP Majority Transition Team, announced the 21 Members responsible for overseeing the smooth and transparent transition into Republican majority. 

Capito, who was elected to her sixth term in Congress last week, accepted the appointment with enthusiasm.  “I am honored to be a part of the majority transition team as we seek to implement the first stages of an agenda aimed at listening and engaging the American people,” she stated.

In an earlier release, Walden stated that, “our transition team includes proven leaders who will meet our challenge to restore the House of Representatives as a great deliberative body that respects the will of the American people.”  Members of this team will work to implement the congressional reforms included in the Pledge to America and look at additional ways to make Congress more transparent, cost-efficient, and accountable to the people.

To continue to engage Americans directly by seeking their input on themes like how Congress can operate with greater transparency and accountability to the people, the transition team has launched a new website at GOPLeader.gov/NewMajority.  Americans are able to submit comments, videos and share information via Twitter and Facebook.

“I encourage West Virginians to take advantage of this unique opportunity to share their thoughts and concerns on how we can make Washington work better.  I think we will see that transparency and citizen engagement will be tenets of the Republican Majority,” concluded Capito.
