WASHINGTON, D.C., January 15, 2025 | Noah Sadlier (202-225-4961)

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Representative John James (MI-10) has been selected to serve on the following three subcommittees on the House Energy and Commerce Committee for the 119th Congress:

·      Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade (CMT)

·      Energy

·      Health

Last year, Rep. James was the first freshman selected to the Energy and Commerce Committee since 2011. With a background in the auto-supply chain industry, Rep. James is focused on ending harmful electric vehicle mandates that have already cost thousands of jobs in Michigan, regaining American energy independence, reshoring our manufacturing base, and bringing down healthcare costs.

Rep. James issues the following statement regarding his subcommittee assignments:

“I am beyond thrilled to continue serving Southeast Michigan on three subcommittees this Congress including the subcommittees on Energy, Health, and Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade. Each one has direct jurisdiction over important issues that impacts Michiganders. On these subcommittees, I am excited for the opportunity to work with the incoming Trump Administration to pass legislation that will lower energy prices, increase transparency in the health care sector, and re-shore Michigan’s manufacturing jobs.

“In November, you gave me my marching orders: help bring our jobs back from Mexico and China, restore American energy dominance, and fight the nameless, faceless, ghouls in big government, big tech and big ‘health’ that are bankrupting, hurting and killing Americans by the millions. Time to get to work.”
