The duty pressure shall be led by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), whose district consists of Butler, Pa., and, along with Higgins, will embody Reps. Mark Inexperienced (R-TN) and David Joyce (R-TN). -OH) Laurel Lee (R-FL), Michael Walz (R-FL) and Pat Fallon (R-TX).
The Democratic rating member shall be Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO). Different Democrats on the duty pressure embody Reps. Lou Correa (D-CA), Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Chrissy Hoolahan (D-PA), Glenn Ivey (D-PA) D-MD) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL).
