Welcome to the Domestic Policy Subcommittee’s website.

The Domestic Policy Subcommittee conducts oversight in many areas of government policy and business practice. Through investigations, hearings and reports, the subcommittee sheds light on waste, fraud and abuse, and identifies subjects for new legislation by Congress. The Subcommittee hopes to act as the eyes and ears of consumers, workers and small business.

I hope you will check back frequently for information on the work we are doing for the American people. Please email the Subcommittee with your comments and suggestions for topics to investigate.
