WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2024 – Rep. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, current head of the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee, is making plans to seek the top position on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, according to a published report.

That’s assuming Republicans retain control of the House. According to CBS News, the House GOP has 215 seats, three short of a majority, with about a dozen more races to call.

The committee chairmanship is open because current Chair Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., is retiring in January.
