Rep. Juan Vargas' Statement on Impeachment Inquiry Announcement
Washington, D.C. (September 24, 2019) – Rep. Juan Vargas released the following statement in response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of the formal launch of impeachment inquiry:
“I strongly agree with Speaker Pelosi, ‘no one is above the law.’ The President’s attempts to obstruct justice and disrupt our democracy have left Congress with no other option than to pursue impeachment. Today marks a positive step toward holding President Trump accountable for his abuses of power.”

Vargas was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012 and is currently serving his fourth term in Congress.
