WASHINGTON – Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Senate’s vote of 51-47 to confirm Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Chair Charlotte Burrows to a new term as a commissioner:

“Under Chair Burrows, the EEOC shed its skin as a federal agency and took on a new role as a weaponized, partisan arbiter. From its wholehearted adoption of radical social policies to its pitiful attempt to bypass congressional authority and use the Pregnant Workers Fairness Actas a pretext for putting abortion in the express lane, the EEOC’s expeditious decay is on display for all to see. As a congratulatory gift, Chair Burrows can expect even more unyielding oversight from the committee – she’s earned it.”
