Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is proud to represent West Virginia on three critical Senate committees that will tackle the important work of addressing our nation’s energy needs, standing up for members of the military and keeping our promises to seniors. 

Senator Manchin currently serves on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, the Senate Armed Services Committee, and the Senate Special Committee on Aging.  

Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee 

Senator Manchin is proud to serve on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where he will fight for a commonsense, balanced energy approach that recognizes West Virginia’s critical role in our nation’s energy future and helps us achieve energy independence within a generation. Senator Manchin believes it is imperative that this country develops an energy policy that focuses on security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Every state must do its part to use its resources – whether it’s clean coal and natural gas or wind and solar – to make energy independence a reality. Senator Manchin will always stand up for energy policies that are good for West Virginia jobs, America’s security and our way of life. Senator Manchin will continue to challenge the egregious overreach of the Environmental Protection Agency, and ensure that the EPA is not regulating what has not been legislated. 

As a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Senator Manchin serves on the Subcommittee on Energy, the Subcommittee on National Parks, and the Subcommittee on Water and Power. 

Senate Armed Services Committee

Senator Manchin has always said that West Virginia is one of the most patriotic states in the country. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Manchin looks forward to standing up on behalf of West Virginia’s many members of the armed services to ensure they have the funding, equipment and training they need to defend our nation. Our servicemen and women – and their families – make enormous sacrifices to keep us all safe, and Senator Manchin is committed to ensuring that we do all we can to bring our servicemen and women home safely while continuing to support their families here at home. 

As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Manchin serves on the Subcommittee on Air and Land, the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, and the Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support. 

Senate Special Committee on Aging

West Virginia also has one of the highest per capita populations of seniors, and Senator Manchin has  made it his life’s work to commit to taking care of those who have taken care of us. Senator Manchin has dedicated his career to making sure that seniors can live as independently as possible and making sure that we keep our commitments to them. As a member of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, he will continue that mission and be a strong voice for improving the quality of life for West Virginia’s seniors.
