Spartz said he would prefer to spend more time helping the mission of the so-called Department of Government Effectiveness, which helps reduce government spending.
Ukrainian-born congresswoman Victoria Spartz announced that she will withdraw from committee work next year and will not attend a meeting of the Republican Party caucus in the House of Representatives. Politico wrote this on Monday, December 16.
At the same time, he announced his intention to remain within the ranks of the party.
“I will remain a member of the Republican caucus, but I will not sit on committees and will not participate in factions until I see that the country is led by a Republican majority in Congress. I do not want to participate in the circus,” Spartz said.
Some of Spartz’s party members speculated that the move was due to him not getting a position on the House Budget Committee.
“Some Republicans are pleased with his decision to boycott the caucus meeting because he talks too much in internal meetings,” the newspaper wrote.
In 2020, Republican Victoria Spartz became the first Ukrainian in the US Congress. He was born in 1978 in Nosovka, Chernihiv region, and in 2000 moved to the United States, where six years later he received citizenship. Since 2017, he has worked in the Indiana State Senate, and then came to big American politics. After Russia’s massive invasion, Spartz was one of the first members of the House of Representatives to call for help in Ukraine, but later changed his mind.
Earlier, the Republican leader, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Communist Party of China, John Moolenaar, who advocates a stricter policy in the country, introduced a bill “to end Permanent Normal Trade Relations with the PRC. “
