"Our committee has jurisdiction over a broad range of issues. One of our primary responsibilities includes oversight over the day-to-day operations that keep the House of Representatives running."

On Capitol Security:
"House Administration also has oversight over the security in the House of Representatives and on Capitol Hill, with Capitol Police, the House Sergeants at Arms and the Capitol Police Board all under our jurisdiction. We must ensure both safety and access for the millions of Americans who visit the People's House annually. Especially with our campus now fully accessible to the public, thanks to the House Republican Majority, our responsibility is even more imperative to guarantee we provide a safe, secure, and open campus."

On Elections:
"Also within our committee’s broad jurisdiction is oversight of federal elections on behalf of the House of Representatives. However, our role is limited and we must keep the federal government in check from overstepping onto state sovereignty, which is protected by the Constitution. Our goal is promoting faith in our elections process and outcomes by promoting policies that make it easier for eligible Americans to vote and harder to cheat."
Congressman Anthony D'Esposito (NY-04) on keeping politics out of Capitol Security decisions:

"As someone who has worn the uniform and someone who has responded to those calls, something that's very important is when you respond to a 9-1-1 call, or you're called to help someone, no one ever asks what political party you're from. That should not only be in the street but it should be here on Capitol Hill and I know that I'm going to do my best to work to make sure this committee is a part of every decision that's made and to remove any politics from the Capitol Police."
Congressman Morgan Griffith (VA-09) on reviewing the appointment process of legislative branch entity leadership:

"One of the things I'm anxious to do is to recognize that Congress has certain prerogatives, it doesn't matter who the President is."

"There were at least two individuals in the last Congress that blatantly sold stocks right before the CHIPS Act and made millions, and why this wasn't taken up in the last Congress is beyond me. We know who those individuals are, and that nonsense doesn't need to happen again."
Congressman Larry Bucshon (IN-08) on depoliticizing the Office of the Attending Physician:

"My goal is to ensure that the office of the attending physician is one that all members can respect, without concern that its actions or advice are based on anything other than science and reason."

"(The U.S. Capitol) is the center of democracy in the free world, and it has freedom of movement for any one of our constituents who wants to come here. We can't lose that, and we can't have people utilizing whatever excuse they can to do domestic intelligence gathering on our staff, the press, or any of our constituents who come here to redress their grievances with the government. We have to get better at this. This is the existential threat that our citizens face from our own government in the 21st century."
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Co-Chair of the House Election Integrity Caucus, on restoring voter confidence:

"It's time to restore confidence in our elections and rebuild faith in our self-governing constitutional republic by making it explicit that only American citizens are permitted to vote in the U.S. elections. This includes local, state, and federal elections."
