Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) announced Monday that she is refusing committee assignments to focus exclusively on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“I will stay as a registered Republican but will not sit on committees or participate in the caucus until I see that Republican leadership in Congress is governing,” Spartz wrote in a post on X in response to a post from fellow Republican Thomas Massie (Ky.).
“I do not need to be involved in circuses,” Spartz continued. “I would rather spend more of my time helping @DOGE and @RepThomasMassie to save our Republic, as was mandated by the American people.”
But, according to Politico, Republicans believe that Spartz is lashing out because she did not get a seat on the House Ways and Means Committee.
Last year, Spartz announced she was retiring from Congress because she needed to spend more time with her two daughters. She walked back her decision months later and easily won re-election in November.
