In a show of cross-party solidarity, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer expressed his support for Ranking Member Gerry Connolly following the announcement of Connolly's cancer recurrence. In a statement posted on the committee's website, Chairman Comer expressed sadness upon learning that Ranking Member Connolly's cancer has returned.
Connolly, a Democrat, who has represented the interests of his constituents for years, will soon resign his role as the Ranking Member. Battling with cancer once more, his departure marks a moment of poignant reflection on public service and its personal tolls. On the Oversight Committee's website, Comer shared his admiration for Connolly's service, characterized by honor and integrity.
The Congressional community has rallied in support, with members from both parties wishing Connolly strength and expressing respect for his commitment to public service. Comer, leading the well-wishes, is rooting for Connolly as he embarks on this challenging journey again. He added that his thoughts and prayers are with Ranking Member Connolly and his family, as noted by the same press release.
