WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2024 – Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., was selected Monday by the House Republican Steering Committee to chair the House Energy and Commerce Committee in the 119th Congress.

Guthrie, who defeated Rep. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, in a competitive race, will succeed outgoing chair Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash.

The recommendation from the Steering Committee, a panel that assigns committee leadership roles within the Republican caucus, still requires formal ratification by the full GOP conference, a step widely considered a formality.
