U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch said Monday evening that he would be running for the chairmanship of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, a panel he has sat on for 18 years and one at the center of the House's impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Lynch, a South Boston Democrat and one of the most conservative members of the state's delegation, said he spoke to colleagues over the weekend before reaching his decision.
The chairmanship is open following the death of Elijah Cummings of Baltimore. U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York is the senior Democrat on the committee and the acting chair, and U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier of California has also said she will run.

How appropriate!
Let it be called the Lynch committee!!
You can't make this stuff up. LOL
So many Democrats named Lynch. Is that the family business?
Lynch is one of the most moderate democrat in the House. He was slated to be Senator but was sandbagged by the same union he’s been a member of in the primary allowing the Squaw to win.

He’s my congressman, great Steve.
I know. He’s my congressman.
Still laughable.
Not saying much at all.
Does that mean he is "only for abortion", not "partial birth abortion"?
Mine too...out of all of the D ballots i leave blank i usually give him a vote.
i usually got no other choice anyways..
Met him a few times seems like a nice guy.
I have talked to him as well. We attended the same college at the same time but ran in different circles. He is approachable and easy to talk to. South Boston’s demographics have completely changed although his voter base is all south of the city. Don’t know who has his hear lately but I will give him a piece of my mine next time I see him.
If this happens, that committee will forever be known as the Lynch mob on Twitter.
