House Judiciary Chairman Goodlatte: Congressional Crusader for Campus Speech

Since 1993, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte has represented Virginia’s Sixth Congressional district. Since 2013, the Roanoke, Virginia native has been chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which considers legislation related to judicial proceedings and provides oversight on constitutional matters. Last June, the House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice held a hearing on the widespread violations of free speech rights on college campuses and invited FIRE President and CEO Greg Lukianoff to testify.
