Pallone Announces Energy & Commerce Subcommittee Ranking Members and Democratic Roster
Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) announced the full Democratic rosters for each of the six subcommittees in the 118th Congress, including the six subcommittee Ranking Members and the full Committee Vice Ranking Member, who were elected by the Democrats on the Committee today.
“The Energy and Commerce Committee stands at the forefront of nearly every major issue impacting the American people today, and the Committee has a proud tradition of conducting most of its work in its subcommittees,” Pallone said. “We have an outstanding team of experienced leaders who will serve as subcommittee ranking members and the full Committee Vice Ranking Member. Every Member is also returning to the Committee after a tremendously productive Democratic Congress. Collectively, they have the experience and expertise to build upon our successful efforts to lower costs for American families, bolster our economy, combat the climate crisis, and protect consumers. We will also aggressively oppose harmful Republican political stunts that undermine progress and threaten our nation’s future.”
The Ranking Members for the six subcommittees are:
- Subcommittee on Communications and Technology – Ranking Member Doris Matsui (CA)
- Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security – Ranking Member Diana DeGette (CO)
- Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Minerals – Ranking Member Paul D. Tonko (NY)
- Subcommittee on Health – Ranking Member Anna G. Eshoo (CA)
- Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce – Ranking Member Jan Schakowsky (IL)
- Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations – Ranking Member Kathy Castor (FL)
The appointments will now need to be approved by the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and the Democratic Caucus.
