Capito Re-Elected as Senate Republican Policy Committee Chairman

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today released the below statement after she was re-elected by acclamation by her Senate Republican colleagues to continue serving as the Chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee (RPC) for the 120th Congress. For the last two years in the 119th Congress, Senator Capito has served as RPC Chairman, and prior to that, she served as Vice Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference in the 118^th Congress.

"I am honored and grateful to my colleagues for once again placing their trust in me to serve as Chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. As we look ahead, it is critical that we work together to advance the ideas and principles that we believe can enable the American people to make their lives better. It has been my goal as policy chair to foster robust debate and provide the resources to make informed decisions on legislation and policy. Whether through our weekly policy lunches at which I've hosted numerous cabinet officials, or the products that inform and summarize our legislative and policy efforts, I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to advance the best solutions to the challenges ahead," Senator Capito said.

During Senator Capito's time as RPC Chairman, she has hosted numerous cabinet officials at her weekly policy lunch of all Republican senators; produced hundreds of vote tallies, policy and nominations summaries; held dozens of staff briefings; and provided the information needed for every Republican Senate office to make informed decisions on issues facing every Republican senator.
