Spartz refuses to serve on committees in U.S. House

Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.-05) issued the following statement on her refusal to participate in the Republican conference, its committees, and resignation from the regional policy committee chair:

“This election the American people sent a resounding message and mandate to the Republican party to govern – not deliver talking points and messaging bills. Our country is on a fiscal collision course and it will take some courage and structural changes in Congress to challenge the status quo, which is not happening. As a serious legislator and finance professional, not a clown, I am not going to continue being involved in circuses. I would rather spend my energy helping President Trump, his appointees and DOGE to deliver on their promises through reconciliation. And I will be working hard doing real work for the people I represent – not presentations in committees for the lobbyists, spectacles and posts on Facebook and X to raise money. The swamp will be back in business in four years if not drained through the law. Congress cannot fail President Trump and the American people again.”
