WASHINGTON D.C. -- As part of the upcoming 119th Congress, U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind. District 5 said she will not sit on any committees or participate in the Republican caucus. According to a post on social media from Spartz on Monday, Spartz emphasized that she will remain a registered Republican, but stressed that she will "not sit on committees or participate in the caucus until I see that Republican leadership in Congress is governing." "I do not need to be involved in circuses," Spartz said. "I would rather spend more of my time helping (the "Department of Government Efficiency") and (U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, District 4) to save our Republic, as was mandated by the American people." House ethics committee to not continue with inquiry into U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz As a member of the 118th Congress, Spartz serves on the Judiciary Committee, the House of Representatives Republican Policy Committee and on the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Spartz also serves on the following subcommittees: Subcommittee on the administrative state, regulatory reform and antitrust Subcommittee on immigration integrity, security and enforcement. Spartz was reelected to her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in November. This comes after she previously announced she would not run for reelection. After changing her mind, Spartz overcame a crowded Republican primary in May, receiving more than 39% of the vote to gain the Republican nomination. Spartz's post was in response to a series of posts from Massie and Vivek Ramaswamy, a politician and entrepreneur, about the "Department of Government Efficiency," an effort started by President-elect Donald Trump and led by Ramaswamy and Elon Musk surrounding government spending. The department, or DOGE, is not an official government department. According to reports in early December from The Hill, Musk and Ramaswamy have already begun to meet with Republican lawmakers before President-elect Trump officially takes office. DOGE's goal is to slash $2 trillion in government spending. Indiana congresswoman named to energy, commerce committee In a statement released on Tuesday from Spartz, she said that November's election "sent a resounding message and mandate to the Republican party to govern - not deliver talking points and messaging bills." "Our country is on a fiscal collision course and it will take some courage and structural changes in Congress to challenge the status quo, which is not happening," Spartz said in the statement. "As a serious legislator and finance professional, not a clown, I am not going to continue being involved in circuses. I would rather spend my energy helping President Trump, his appointees and DOGE to deliver on their promises through reconciliation. And I will be working hard doing real work for the people I represent - not presentations in committees for the lobbyists, spectacles and posts on Facebook and X to raise money. The swamp will be back in business in four years if not drained through the law. Congress cannot fail President Trump and the American people again."
