Hageman announced as chair of the RSC Article One Task Force

CHEYENNE (WNE) —  Wyoming U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman was selected on Tuesday to chair the Article One Task Force.

In this role, Hageman will lead efforts to restore Congress’s constitutional authority and combat executive overreach, according to a news release from Hageman’s office.

In the coming months, the task force will work on crafting legislation to restrict the scope of agency rule making and prevent the rise of a regulatory state that operates outside the bounds of congressional intent.

Hageman was appointed by U.S. Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, chairman-elect of the Republican Study Committee.

“I am grateful to Chairman Pfluger for placing his trust in me to lead the Article One Task Force,” she said in the release. “We are now on the offensive, and the unelected bureaucrats who have abused their power for far too long should be on notice. The Supreme Court’s Loper decision returns the power to legislate where it rightfully belongs, with the legislative branch. We will work to advance policies that restore the balance of power to Congress.”
