Lawmakers on the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are reportedly considering ousting Chairwoman Nanette Barragan (D-CA) from her top position, accusing the California Democrat of leaving the caucus unable to advance its priorities due to high turnover.
Caucus members are planning to hold a virtual meeting to discuss Barragan's leadership, which could ultimately lead to her ouster as chairwoman, sources told Politico. The news of the meeting comes days after Barragan fired the group's executive director, Jacky Usyk, just one month after her tenure began."This is a disaster," a Democratic staffer for one of the caucus lawmakers told the outlet.
Barragan's latest move has left the influential caucus without any staffers as the 118th Congress is just getting started. Usyk was fired through an email for"insubordination," according to emails obtained by Politico. The move prompted criticism from other caucus members, raising questions on whether Barragan is fit to lead the group, the outlet reported.Barragan has long held a reputation as a strict boss and has one of the highest turnover rates of any House office on Capitol Hill.
It's not entirely clear when the caucus plans to hold its meeting over Barragan's leadership. Although it's unclear who would be elected to replace her, Rep. Adriano Espalliat , the caucus's vice chair, is considered next in line for the position.
