TYLER, Texas – Congressman Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) released the following statement after he was granted a waiver from the Steering Committee, allowing him the unique opportunity to serve on a third House Committee – the Committee on Education and the Workforce:

"The Committee on Education and the Workforce ensures that the freedoms and liberties given to the American people through the Constitution are not only upheld, but strengthened and secured. It is time for Congress to empower parents—not the federal government—to direct the education of their children at the state level. We have a responsibility to protect our children from the weaponization of schools and radical agendas in the classroom.  I look forward to supporting families, educational institutions at all levels, and the many job creators in America—big and small—who educate, innovate and ultimately create opportunities and high-quality jobs for Americans. 

“I thank the Republican Steering Committee for granting me a waiver to serve on the Education and the Workforce Committee, in addition to Judiciary and Foreign Affairs. I look forward to serving with Chairwoman Foxx to help build a future that amplifies the voices of our nation’s families and workers.”
