Rep. Lynch Wants To Take Over Committee Formerly Chaired By Elijah Cummings

Massachusetts Congressman Stephen Lynch is running to chair the powerful House Oversight and Reform Committee.

The job became vacant after former Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland passed away this month.

Oversight is the main investigative committee in the U.S. House, and it has a key role in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
