The House Ethics Committee finally has filled its ranks after the longest delay in recent history, allowing the reserved body to resume its duty of reviewing lawmakers’ conduct — a task proven challenging and dramatic in the wake of former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.
With the 119th Congress already in full swing, the new members of the committee will have to handle months of backlogged work and determine cases. Chairman Michael Guest (R-MO) is returning to lead the body, along with incumbent Reps. John Rutherford (R-FL), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Deborah Ross (D-NC) and Glenn Ivey (D-MD).
