Senator Grassley is a member of the following Senate committees:

Committee on Finance. Senator Grassley is the most senior Republican member of this committee and, therefore, serves as the committee’s Ranking Member. Senator Grassley calls this committee the quality of life committee because of the committee’s jurisdiction, which includes all tax matters, Social Security; Medicare, Medicaid, social services, unemployment compensation, tariffs and international trade. Legislation acted on by the Committee on Finance raises virtually all federal revenue, and expenditures authorized by this committee represent as much as two-thirds of the federal budget. Overall, the committee handles legislation involving more money than any other committee in Congress.

Committee on the Judiciary. Senator Grassley has been on this committee every year that he’s served in the Senate and is a senior member. The Committee on the Judiciary is one of the Senate’s original standing committees and has a broad jurisdiction, including crime, antitrust, bankruptcy, intellectual property, the federal courts and judges, civil liberties, constitutional amendments, and immigration.

Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. Senator Grassley is the only working family farmer serving on the Senate Agriculture Committee. The committee is responsible for legislation on the farm program, nutrition programs and forestry matters, as well as oversight of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Committee on the Budget. Senator Grassley is a senior member of this committee, which is responsible for drafting an annual budget plan for Congress. The budget resolution prepared by the Budget Committee sets out a broad blueprint for Congress with respect to the total levels of revenues and spending for the federal government as a whole. Other committees in the Senate and House of Representatives prepare the legislation that actually enacts specific tax and spending policies.

Joint Committee on Taxation. Senator Grassley is a member of this committee because of his seniority on the Committee on Finance.
