The committee is chaired by Congressman Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California.
In addition to Fitzpatrick, Congressman Jason Crow, a Democrat from Colorado; Congressman Jim Cooper, a Democrat from Tennessee; Congressman Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma; Congressman Darin LaHood, a Republican from Illinois; and Congressman Trent Kelly, a Republican from Mississippi, were appointed to serve on the committee, according to the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
“The new appointees are not among those considered the most polarizing or divisive in Congress – and in fact could help the panel heal in the post-Trump era,” Politico reported.

“It is an honor to have been appointed to this important committee. As a former FBI agent, I look forward to using that experience to work with my colleagues on the Committee in our joint mission to protect our nation’s security and oversee our intelligence agencies,” said Fitzpatrick. “Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we have reliable intelligence and accountable agencies that the American people can trust.”
Fitzpatrick is also a member on the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Energy, the Environment, and Cyber; the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee; and Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission.
