On January 16, House Republican Steering Committee leaders named their picks to join several top House committees, informally known as “A-list” committees. These include the House Appropriations, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services and Ways and Means Committees. The ratios of Democratic to Republican members for each committee were agreed upon by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
A list of Members joining the A-list committees can be found here.
House Appropriations subcommittee chairs, known as the “cardinals,” were also named.
Most notable for CTE stakeholders, Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL) was named as the chair of the Labor-Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee, which has appropriations jurisdiction over education and workforce development programs through the Departments of Education and Labor. Rep. Aderholt replaces Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) as the lead Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Subcommittee Republican. You can view a full list of appropriations cardinals here.
