Polis Keeps Key Rules Committee Seat

  • 5 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

From the Colorado Independent:

Congressman Jared Polis announced today that he has been re-appointed to the House Rules Committee. With the House now under Republican leadership, Polis is one of four Democrats to remain on the committee, which governs rules for legislative debate in the House.

“It is an honor to return to the Rules Committee for the 112th Congress,” said Polis in a press release. “From this position I will work to ensure that legislation in the House is not hijacked by political posturing and remains true to our shared goal of creating jobs and growing the economy.”

It’s a reflection of sophomore Rep. Jared Polis’ clout that he kept his seat on the powerful Rules Committee; there are a lot fewer Democrats there in the new Congress. Polis joins Reps. Louise Slaughter, Alcee Hastings, and Jim McGovern on the committee, now a 9-4 GOP majority.

  1. When you are in the majority, the key to holding a Rules Committee post is loyalty to the party leadership.

    When you are in the minority, however, the key to being effective in a Rules Committee post, which the minority leadership presumably understands, is the ability to convince the majority on occassion to act in ways that you have no power, when push comes to shove, to force them to act.

    Clearly, somebody in the House leadership thinks that Jared Polis have a silver tounge.
