Texas Democrats take aim at Project 2025 at House hearing

Two Texas Democrats took aim at the controversial Project 2025 plan during a House Oversight Committee hearing that was scrutinizing policies from the Biden administration. The more than 4-hour long hearing on Thursday, September 19, was titled, “A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures.”

Witnesses questioned at the hearing included Brendan Carr and Project 2025 Advisory Board member Mark Krikorian. Carr is a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, that authored a chapter in Project 2025 on the FCC. Lawmakers asked for an ethics investigation into Carr earlier for “misusing his official position as an executive-level employee of the FCC.” 

Krikorian is the Executive Director at the Center for Immigration Studies, a policy think-tank that has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “an anti-immigrant hate group.” The organization bills itself as “low immigration, pro-immigrant.” The Center for Immigration Studies is among the 100 groups that make up the coalition supporting Project 2025
