WASHINGTON, DC - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today issued the following statement after the House Republican Steering Committee selected Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) to serve as the next Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee:
“Kevin Brady has been a vigorous and hardworking member during all of his 14 years on the Committee. The new Speaker has pledged to provide a renewed scope for Committees to exercise their jurisdiction in the preparation and writing of legislation. Kevin has been able to combine his strong views on issues with friendliness across the aisle. I look forward, as do my Democratic colleagues, to working with Kevin as the new Chairman as we seek bipartisan action on the big issues within the Committee that will impact American families and our nation’s economy."
