Senate Finance Committee Roster Announced

U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho)  welcomed Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) and five Democratic members to the Committee for the 119th Congress.

“In the 119th Congress, the Finance Committee will play a critical role in driving a strong economic, trade and health policy agenda,” said Crapo.

“I also welcome Senators Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), Tina Smith (D-Minnesota), Ben Ray Luján (D-New Mexico), Raphael Warnock (D-Georgia) and Peter Welch (D-Vermont) to the Committee. I look forward to working with all members of the Committee on an agenda that creates opportunities for American families and job creators.”

The Finance Committee is currently comprised of 27 members, with 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats.  

The Finance Committee has the largest jurisdiction of any congressional committee, overseeing over 50 percent of the nation’s budget, including America’s entitlement programs, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, all tax policy, international trade, several welfare programs and the nation’s debt.

The new Chairman has indicated his eagerness to advance the President-elect's agenda and Cabinet nominees. “My position,” Mr. Crapo told CNN, “is what President Trump decides to do is what I will support.”
