AOC won’t seek top Oversight Committee post
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday she won’t seek the top Democratic position on the Oversight Committee, citing the caucus’ preference for seniority.
”It’s actually clear to me that the underlying dynamics in the caucus have not shifted with respect to seniority as much as I think would be necessary, so I believe I’ll be staying put at Energy and Commerce,” the New York progressive told reporters.
Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly’s decision to step aside as the top Democrat on the high-profile panel for health reasons has kicked off a quiet scramble to succeed him even before a formal vacancy was declared.
Ocasio-Cortez, 35, was seen as a potential candidate after coming up short in a bid for the top Oversight job last year. That contest tested House Democrats’ appetite for younger leadership amid a broader shift in the caucus, with longtime allies ultimately lining up behind Connolly even as other committee heads stepped aside in the face of challenges from younger lawmakers."
