Dan Newhouse (WA-04) will rejoin the committee in the 119th Congress. He served on the committee in his first term in Congress. "As a third-generation farmer, I am proud to rejoin my colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee. Central Washington is home to over 7,800 farms covering almost 6,000,000 acres, and I am looking forward to bringing their voices to the committee next year. We also have a critical Farm Bill to get across the line, and I am ready to get to work," said Rep. Dan Newhouse. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson said, "I’m excited to welcome this strong and diverse group of legislators to the House Committee on Agriculture for the 119th Congress. This is a pivotal time for our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities, so we’ll hit the ground running with rigorous hearings and oversight, all to ensure we deliver legislative victories for rural America and the farm families that guarantee our nation’s food security." Rep. Newhouse will retain his seat on the House Appropriations Committee, where he will stay on the Subcommittees on Agriculture, Energy and Water, and Homeland Security. He is uniquely positioned, serving on both the House Agriculture Committee that authorizes the Farm Bill, and the Appropriations Committee that directs funds to carry out its policies. He will also remain a member of the Select Committee of the Chinese Communist Party pending its reauthorization in the 119th Congress. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
