Complete Senate Committee Rosters for 116th Congress Named

January 3, 2019 – 11:45 a.m.

Today, Senate Republicans released their proposed committee memberships for the 116th Congress, joining Senate Democrats, who had announced their proposed slates  late last year. The new committee memberships will become official when ratified by Senate resolution in the coming days.

In terms of the sizes of committees, the fact that the GOP went from a 52-48 Opening Day majority in the 115th Congress to a 53-47 Opening Day majority in the 116th Congress led to a slightly larger Republican majority on a couple of committees – the tax-writing Finance Committee went from a 14-13 ratio to a 15-13 ratio and the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee went from a 14-13 ratio to a 14-12 ratio.

Unlike the House, where all committees cease to exist at the end of a Congress and must be re-created and re-elected, the Senate is a continuing body, so all committees still exist and any Senator who is still in office still holds their committee assignments (see the official lists in the Senate Calendar ).

Taking the transportation-related committees, in alphabetical order. In the tables, chairmen and ranking members are in boldface type , members who were on a committee in the 115th Congress but are no longer on in the 116th Congress are in strikethrough type , and new members added for the 116th Congress are in italic type .

Appropriations. There were no changes in overall membership or committee size from the 115th to the 116th. There were some changes in the seniority order at the bottom of the Republican side, but none on the Democratic side. Since members pick subcommittee chairmanships in seniority order, Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jack Reed (D-RI) are still high up and are expected to retain the chairmanship and ranking slot on the Transportation-HUD Subcommittee.

Banking. The Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, which (for a long list of of historic precedent reasons) controls mass transit policy, sees no change in ratios. There are two new Republican members, Martha McSally (R-AZ) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND), and two new Democratic members, Tina Smith (D-MN) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).

Commerce. Republicans had one vacancy from the defeat of Dean Heller (D-NV) and gained a second vacancy when Jim Inhofe (R-OK) left the committee. Those seats went to Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rick Scott (R-FL), and Blackburn apparently made Commerce her first choice, because she vaulted straight to 9th place in seniority out of 14. (Scott will be 100th in seniority in the Senate because he is waiting until his term as governor ends on January 8 to be sworn into the Senate. As such, he won’t actually be elected to the Commerce Committee until he is sworn in as a Senator.) As mentioned previously in ETW , Kyrsten Sinema and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) got the Democratic vacancies, and the Democratic membership was shrunk from 13 to 12. The panel will have new leadership on both sides of the aisle: former chairman John Thune (R-SD) had to give up the gavel to become Majority Whip and is being replace by Roger Wicker (R-MS), and ranking member Bill Nelson (D-FL) was defeated for re-election and will be replaced by Maria Cantwell (D-WA).

EPW. The Environment and Public Works Committee, which controls the federal-aid highway program as well as water infrastructure programs, sees no change in its 11 to 10 ratio or its leadership. Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) leave the panel and are replaced by Kevin Cramer and Mike Braun (R-IN), both of whom moved high up on the seniority list so it is likely that EPW was the first choice of panels for both me. There was a lot of seniority re-arranging on the Republican side, but no changes in membership or order on the Democratic side.

Finance. The powerful Finance panel, which controls taxes (and federal trust funds), gets three new Republican members – two from attrition and one from expansion. They are Jim Lankford (R-OK), Steve Daines (R-MT), and Todd Young (R-IN). The two new Democrats, replacing defeated Senators, are Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) retired and is replaced (again) by former chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA). ( Roll Call was first to point out that Daines and Lankford get to serve on both Appropriations and Finance, the first time this has happened since 1944.)

House Committee on Ways and Means

Chair: Richard Neal

Grade for the 117th Congress

0 Investigative Oversight Hearings

12 Policy/Legislative Hearings

40 Total Hearings

The oldest committee in Congress, Ways and Means is also one of the most powerful. The Constitution says all tax and revenue bills must originate in the House, and by rule they pass through Ways and Means. With jurisdiction over tax reform and tariffs, as well as aspects of Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance and welfare, the chair of the committee is a prominent member of the House. Some, like legendary figures Wilbur Mills and Dan Rostenkowski, have been as well known as the Speaker. The chair is also one of the few to have an office in the Capitol building. Members are not allowed to serve on any other committee without a waiver from their party’s leadership. With just over 40 members, the committee is one of the larger ones in the House. Membership on the committee is considered useful for raising campaign contributions, and its influence over a broad range of policy often attracts members with strong ideological views. In the 116th Congress, the committee had six subcommittees: health; oversight; select revenue measures, Social Security; trade; and worker and family support.

Despite its broad jurisdiction and members with few other committee assignments, Ways and Means has had a less active hearing schedule than many other influential committees, such as Armed Services or Energy and Commerce. Hearing activity spiked in the 112th Congress under new chair Dave Camp (R-MI) with 106 hearings, but the average for the other five Congresses in the period was just 66. The committee has also had a somewhat erratic recent history of investigative oversight, from a high of eight investigative oversight hearings in the 113th Congress under Chair Camp, to none in the 115th or 116th Congresses (2017-20) under Chairs Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Richard Neal (D-MA).

In the pandemic-shortened 116th Congress under Chair Neal, the committee nonetheless held as many total hearings as in the previous Congress under Rep. Brady. However, policy and legislative hearings fell to just 21, the fewest in the 12-year period. It held no hearings into agency or private sector conduct.

Rounds Secures Key Committee Assignments for 116th Congress

WASHINGTON —U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today announced that he will maintain his membership on four key committee assignments in the 116th Congress:

• Senate Armed Services
• Veterans’ Affairs
• Environment and Public Works (EPW)
• Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs

Rounds Statement:

“I look forward to working on these committees, each of which focuses on issues that are important to South Dakotans. We have many accomplishments to be proud of so far, and I look forward to building on those successes in the 116th Congress.”

“Throughout my time serving on the Senate Armed Services Committee , we’ve strengthened Ellsworth’s role as a vital component of our long-term national defense strategy, bolstered defense funding and improved our nation’s cybersecurity.”

“Our men and women in uniform have made incredible sacrifices to protect the homeland and keep us safe. We owe it to our veterans to keep the promises we’ve made them. As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee , we will continue to hold the VA accountable and we are committed to getting our veterans the care they deserve." 

“The Senate EPW Committee has important oversight jurisdiction over the EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers and surface transportation infrastructure. As a member of this committee, my priorities include holding the Corps accountable for the decisions it makes along the Missouri River, assuring the EPA lives up to its legal obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and rebuilding our nation’s roads and bridges.” 

“Making certain that South Dakota families and business owners have access to credit when they need it has been a top priority of mine while working on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee . Last year, we were able to enact the first major overhaul of our financial system since Dodd-Frank, providing much-needed regulatory relief to our smaller and midsized banks so they can focus on serving their customers. We’ll continue to seek ways to roll back burdensome regulations in the 116th Congress.”

The Committee on Education and the Workforce's purpose is to ensure that Americans' needs are addressed so that students and workers may move forward in a changing school system and a competitive global economy. The Committee oversees education and workforce programs that affect all Americans, from early learning through secondary education, from job training through retirement.

RELEASE: Rep. Khanna Announces Committee and Subcommittee assignments for Oversight and Reform, Armed Services, and Budget for the 116th Congress

Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) announced his 116 th committees: Oversight and Reform, Armed Services, and Budget. He joins the House Armed Services subcommittees on Intelligence and Emerging Threats, and Strategic Forces, as well as the Oversight subcommittees of Government Operations and Economic Policy.

"I'm honored to have the confidence of Speaker Pelosi to serve on these committees at such a critical time in our nation's history," said Rep. Khanna. "I look forward to using these assignments to spark discussions around how we are going to grow the digital economy, forge a progressive foreign policy, hold the administration accountable and modernize government technologies."

The Committee on Oversight and Reform serves as the primary investigative body for the U.S. House of Representatives and will play a crucial role in holding the Trump Administration accountable for many of the outstanding questions over potential campaign, ethics, and constitutional violations. One of the first of such investigations will focus on the ongoing issues of security clearance at the White House. The Committee also has sweeping jurisdiction in many policy areas, allowing Rep. Khanna and his colleagues to conduct oversight over "any matter" it believes would serve the American people. Some of the first hearings will look at rising drug prices, campaign finance and lobbying reform. Rep. Khanna is a founding member of the No PAC Caucus, introduced a bill with Senator Sanders to reduce the price of drug prices, and is introducing a bill to provide "Democracy Dollars" to Americans to spend money in elections.

In November 2018, Rep. Khanna worked with the Oversight and Reform Committee to pass the 21 st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (IDEA), a bipartisan bill that will digitize and modernize government websites and forms. This was his second bill signed into law.

The Committee on the Budget drafts the annual budget resolution that sets the levels of revenue and spending expected each fiscal year. Speaker Pelosi has already committed to holding hearings before the Budget Committee on Medicare for All, where Rep. Khanna plans continue his fight for universal health care in the country. Rep. Khanna has been a leading advocate in the movement for universal health coverage and for lowering prescription drug costs. With Senator Brown, he introduced the Grow American Incomes Now Act (GAIN) that expands the earned income tax credit by $1.4 trillion and will continue to fight for this policy on the committee.

As a member of the Committee on Armed Services' subcommittees on Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Strategic Forces, Rep. Khanna will continue to provide a much-needed voice of restraint in our nation's foreign policy. Rep. Khanna is leading the effort in the House to end U.S. involvement in the Yemen Civil war, cautions against a new nuclear arms race with Russia, and supports bringing technologies from Silicon Valley to the Defense Department.

Congressman Khanna represents the 17th District of California, which covers communities in Silicon Valley. Visit his website at khanna.house.gov. Follow him on Facebook and Twitter @RepRoKhanna.

Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren

Zoe Lofgren has been a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 1995. She represents the18th District of California, which serves communities in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties.

A lifelong Bay Area resident and the daughter of a truck driver and a cafeteria cook and, later, a secretary. Zoe attended public schools and attended Stanford University on a California State Scholarship, graduating with a bachelor's degree in political science in 1970. Prior to attending Stanford, Lofgren worked the night shift at the Eastman Kodak plant in Palo Alto to save money for non-tuition college expenses not covered by her scholarship. After graduating from Stanford, she attended Santa Clara University School of Law with the help of a scholarship, graduating cum laude in 1975. She served as a member of Congressman Don Edwards' staff for eight years in both his San Jose and Washington DC offices from 1970 to 1978. She practiced and taught immigration law, and was a founder and first executive director of the nonprofit Community Housing Developers. She was first elected to the San Jose Evergreen Community College Board in 1979. In 1980, she was elected to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, where she served for 14 years. Following Congressman Don Edwards' retirement in 1994 after 32 years in Congress, Zoe was elected to the House of Representatives.

She is currently the Ranking Member of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and serves on the House Judiciary Committee . Zoe is also the elected Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation. It is the most diverse delegation in the House and outnumbers all other state House delegations.

IMMIGRANT RIGHTS LEADER

Zoe is known for her steadfast advocacy for immigrant communities and her expertise on U.S. immigration law and policy. She led Democrats on the House Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee during eight consecutive sessions of Congress. During the 116th Congress, Zoe led a group of bipartisan lawmakers in negotiations that resulted in the Farm Workforce Modernization Act – a comprehensive agricultural workforce reform bill that provides a path to legal status for an estimated 1.5 million farmworkers and improves the H-2A temporary agricultural visa program. The legislation was negotiated with input from farmers, agricultural stakeholders, labor organizations, and farmworker advocates. The sensible compromise is fully supported by the United Farmworkers of America and growers. The bill passed the House with overwhelming support in both the 116th and 117th Congresses. Zoe has consistently sought to cut through the divisive political rhetoric to advance commonsense immigration policy solutions, including efforts to address family-sponsored and employment-based immigrant visa backlogs and to create a new visa program for immigrant entrepreneurs .

She is also a champion of top-to-bottom immigration reform, and her leadership includes extensive efforts during the 113th Congress as part of an eight-person bipartisan House working group and an original cosponsor and advocate for the U.S. Citizenship Act in the 117th Congress. Additionally, throughout her tenure in Congress, and especially during the Trump Administration, Zoe led colleagues in addressing a multitude of immigration-related crises, including increased instability in the Northern Triangle region , and calling out constitutional and other abuses of power, including Trump's Muslim travel ban , the Migrant Protection Protocols ("Remain in Mexico" policy ), and the "Zero Tolerance" policy that resulted in the separation of children from their parents at the border. Zoe also shepherded House passage of the American Dream and Promise Act for Dreamers and TPS and DED recipients, has been a constant advocate for those requiring humanitarian protection (including by promoting TPS for Ukraine , El Salvador , Haiti , Liberia , Cameroon , and Lebanon ), and has worked to improve and safeguard institutions so immigrants receive humane treatment, benefits, fairness, and due process.

FOCUSED ON INNOVATION AND TECH POLICY

Zoe is also known for her work on patent reform, copyright issues, internet privacy, digital rights, and net neutrality. She successfully fought to initiate the "e-rate" that provides affordable internet access for schools, libraries, and rural health centers, and she led a bipartisan effort in the House to decontrol encryption technology . A staunch advocate for digital rights, Zoe was the lead early opponent of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and led a successful fight to stop the bill in the House Judiciary Committee . In 2014, Zoe successfully spearheaded a bipartisan effort to close backdoor loopholes on unwarranted government surveillance , and in early 2020, she led bicameral reform efforts to protect Americans' civil liberties during FISA reauthorization negotiations . In the 116th Congress, along with Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, Zoe introduced the 132-page Online Privacy Act , sweeping legislation that creates user rights, places obligations on companies to protect users' data, establishes a new federal agency to enforce privacy protections, and strengthens enforcement of privacy law violations.

As the top Democrat on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, Zoe is focused on spurring innovation, fostering scientific advancement, and cultivating the nation's STEM pipeline . She specifically plans to push Congress and the Administration to double down and accelerate research on fusion energy and, using her on-the-ground California expertise, work to bolster the federal scientific agenda on wildfires , as nearly year-long fire seasons cause increasing devastation. Zoe also plans to expand technological innovation to the agricultural sector.

DEFENDING DEMOCRACY

Zoe has been a longtime leader on anti-corruption, campaign finance, and pro-democracy reforms. She is a constitutional expert who is keenly focused on protecting Americans' right to vote and the country's tradition of having a peaceful transfer of power. Zoe shepherded H.R. 1, the For the People Act , through the legislative process in the 116th and 117th Congresses, culminating with its House passage twice. The sweeping package would put power back in the hands of the American people by limiting the dominance of big money in politics, making it easier – not harder – to vote, and ensuring that politicians actually serve the public interest.

In the 117th Congress, Zoe served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol , which unveiled the multifaceted effort by ex-President Trump to keep power contrary to the 2020 election results. Along with former Rep. Liz Cheney, Zoe led the House in passing the bipartisan Presidential Election Reform Act .

Zoe also served as a House Manager in the 2020 impeachment trial of Donald Trump and is the first woman in U.S. history to ever present a presidential case to the Senate . She is also the only Member of Congress to have participated in all four modern impeachment proceedings.

More than 100 House lawmakers signed a letter urging President Barack Obama to call Congress back into session if he planned to use military force in Syria. [146]

Rep. Scott Rigell wrote in the letter in August 2013, “Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.” [146] [147]

The members of Congress believed that Obama should have asked Congress for permission before engaging in Libya. The letter asked, “If the use of 221 Tomahawk cruise missles, [ sic ] 704 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 42 Predator Hellfire missiles expended in Libya does not constitute ‘hostilities,’ what does?” [147]

The letter stated, “If you deem that military action in Syria is necessary, Congress can reconvene at your request. We stand ready to come back into session, consider the facts before us, and share the burden of decisions made regarding U.S. involvement in the quickly escalating Syrian conflict." [147]

A total of 98 Republicans signed the letter. Eshoo was one of 18 Democratic members to sign the letter. [147]

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Congresswoman Anna Eshoo is a trailblazer, proven problem solver, and national leader with an extensive record of achievements and critical subject matter expertise. For the past three decades, she has served the people of San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties with great distinction.

As a Member of Congress, Anna has been a health pioneer, a champion of new medical research and groundbreaking cures, a human rights and consumer advocate and a staunch proponent of clean energy innovation and the environment. She is the first woman in the history of the U.S. Congress to Chair the Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee and in that role has worked to end the COVID-19 pandemic and produced legislation to lower the price of prescription drugs.

Anna is also recognized as a national leader on technology policy and has led the way on safeguarding personal information, holding companies accountable for violating individual privacy, and combating the spread of disinformation and extremism on social media platforms.

Like many of her constituents, Anna is a proud first generation American. She is a proud mother of Karen and Paul and a devoted aunt.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Protect Our Democracy. Today, our democracy, the rule of law, and the democratic ideals of equality and justice for all are under assault. As a Member of Congress, Anna has consistently offered bills and voted for legislation that protects the integrity of our elections, increases transparency, and expands voting rights access, especially for minorities.
• Heal Our Nation. Our nation is deeply divided and this division is mirrored in Congress. Last year a vicious mob, incited by the former president, attempted to stop the counting of Electoral ballots and upend the peaceful transition of power, a hallmark of our democracy. In the case of the Covid-19 pandemic, political polarization has resulted in a deadly “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Our nation’s ability to heal and recover from these crises is hindered by partisanship and fake news. Anna is the leader we need now. She is a highly effective legislator who believes in and has a long record of bipartisanship.
• Strengthen Our Economy. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on our economy and taken a disproportionate toll on small businesses and essential workers for whom remote work is not an option. It has exposed and exacerbated inequalities and supply chain weaknesses, and raised national security concerns associated with an over-reliance on foreign manufacturers. Anna is focused on tackling these issues to improve the lives of all her constituents. She has advocated and voted for critical emergency aid, funding to expand broadband access, rapid vaccine development and deployment, and increased coronavirus testing. Anna has done this work with an eye to protecting the most vulnerable among us – leaving no one behind..

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Anna is a national health leader and currently serves as the Chair of the Health Subcommittee in the House. Anna supports universal healthcare. She knows the burdens of the high costs of pharmaceutical drugs, and with her leadership, Medicare will now be able to negotiate costs directly, just as the VA does today. She has increased funding for mental health services, opioid treatment, and medical research. Anna's efforts have produced cutting-edge legislation, such as the nation’s Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act which helped to produce life-saving Covid vaccines and the bill to establish the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). ARPA-H would create an independent health agency that would incubate and foster biomedical innovation to transform how we detect, treat, and cure the deadliest, most aggressive diseases like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and pancreatic, liver, lung and ovarian cancer. Anna is a staunch defender of human rights, civil rights, voting rights, women’s rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, privacy rights - and the right to live a dignified life with equal opportunity to pursue the American dream. She believes that we owe it to future generations to protect the planet and ensure that our workplaces, neighborhoods and schools are safe from gun violence. Anna has a long record of fighting for equality and justice, not only when it’s popular or widely accepted.

Campaign finance summary

Personal gain index.

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants. It consists of two different metrics:

• Changes in Net Worth
• The Donation Concentration Metric

PGI: Change in net worth

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org , Eshoo's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,281,011 and $2,866,000. That averages to $2,073,505 , which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Eshoo ranked as the 146th most wealthy representative in 2012. [166] Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent. [167]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org , Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Eshoo received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Pharmaceuticals/Health Products industry.

From 1989-2014, 35.94 percent of Eshoo's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below. [169]

Ideology and leadership

Based on an analysis of bill sponsorship by GovTrack , Eshoo was a moderate Democratic leader as of July 2014. This was the same rating Eshoo received in June 2013. [170]

Congressional staff salaries

The website Legistorm compiles staff salary information for members of Congress. Eshoo paid her congressional staff a total of $1,203,290 in 2011. She ranked 180th on the list of the lowest paid Democratic representative staff salaries and ranked 13th overall of the highest paid representative staff salaries in 2011. Overall, California ranked 5th in average salary for representative staff. The average U.S. House of Representatives congressional staff was paid $954,912.20 in fiscal year 2011. [173]
