Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is the new ranking member for the House Oversight Committee after the Democratic caucus overwhelmingly voted for him on Tuesday morning.

Garcia defeated Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) in a 150-63 vote. Reps. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) dropped out shortly before the final vote, after the Steering Committee recommended Garcia for the role in a Monday evening vote.
