Pelosi: Steering Committee Recommends Doris Matsui to Serve on House Energy and Commerce Committee
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced today that the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee voted to recommend Congresswoman Doris Matsui of California to serve on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The full Democratic Caucus is expected to vote next week on the nomination.
“Congresswoman Doris Matsui brings a depth of knowledge and wealth of experience to her new position on the Energy and Commerce Committee,” Speaker Pelosi said. “From providing health care to hard-working Americans to protecting our planet from global warming, Congresswoman Matsui will be a powerful voice for her constituents and the American people as she joins the Committee in tackling the critical challenges facing our nation.”
Said Congresswoman Matsui: “I am honored that the Speaker and my colleagues have selected me to serve on the Energy and Commerce Committee. Some of the most critical challenges facing our nation today will be addressed by the Committee. I look forward to continuing to address the issues most important to my constituents in this new role. Sacramento is a leading example for many of the areas that the Committee will address. As a region, we are moving forward into a green future; my district houses cutting-edge medical facilities and we are uniquely focused on commerce in California.”
