Brooks Named to Energy and Commerce Committee

Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks (R-IN5) released the following statement today regarding her selection to the House Energy and Commerce Committee for the 114th Congress:

“The Energy and Commerce Committee has broad jurisdiction over issues of significant importance to all Americans and particularly in the sectors of health care, energy, telecommunications and manufacturing.  Under Chairman Fred Upton’s leadership, the committee has a proven track record of bipartisan success. I look forward to serving on the Energy and Commerce Committee in the 114th Congress as we work to grow our economy, increase energy production and promote medical innovation. 

I am also extremely pleased to be serving on this committee with my friend and colleague, Representative Larry Bucshon (R-IN8). It’s great news for the state of Indiana to have two Hoosiers on this impactful committee.”

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (MI-6) released the following statement congratulating Congresswoman Brooks:

“I am excited to welcome Congresswoman Brooks to the Energy and Commerce Committee. Her diverse background, strong work ethic and ability to build consensus will serve our team well. We are going to hit the ground running next year as we continue our efforts to create jobs, promote life-saving cures, unleash America’s energy abundance, protect families, and foster growth in this new era of innovation.”
