WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Congressman Greg Landsman (OH-01) has been appointed to House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce, established in 1795, is the oldest standing legislative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. It oversees a broad range of issues, including telecommunications, consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health and research, environmental quality, energy policy, and interstate and foreign commerce, among others.

On Wednesday Landsman released the following statement:

“I’m determined to ensure that hard work pays off for every single American. We asked to join the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to take on big corporations that rig the system to help the rich get richer at the expense of the rest of us.

“To fix this rigged system – the status quo that gives the super wealthy everything they want while leaving the rest of us behind – I’ll be focused on this fight as part of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

“I’m going to fight for an economy that works for working people – not billionaires. We’ll fight for lower healthcare and prescription drug costs, American energy and reducing utility bills, and ensuring clean and safe food, air, water, and environment.

“The system is broken, and it’s rigged for the super-wealthy and the billionaire class. We need to fix the tax code, fix the regulatory system, and fix politics for people.

“It’s about making sure that the people who live here, work here, and vote are the ones who have the power. That’s what we’re working for on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.”
