Dear Democratic Colleague:

As members of the New York delegation, we are supporting our colleague Rep.
Edolphus Towns, current Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform to become the committee’s Ranking Member.

During his 28 years on the committee, Ed Towns has built a record of

accomplishment on a range of national issues. During these years, he has served as
chairman of the full committee, and chair or ranking member on subcommittees covering
government management, federal contracting, government organization, federal financial
management, criminal justice, human resources, and more. He has always been an
advocate for improved efficiency in the government’s delivery of services, equal
opportunity in access to government programs and contracts, and strong internal and
external oversight.

During the coming Congress, we will need determined and tenacious leadership to
battle any partisan attacks on the Administration that Republicans may launch. Ed
Towns will provide that leadership and we ask that you join us in supporting him as the
Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in the 112th
Congress.

Sincerely,

/
