The lawmakers eyeing seats on tax committees

Lawmakers are vying for open seats on Congress’ tax-writing committees as election losses and retirements leave room for new blood.

The Senate Finance Committee is in for major turnover in 2025, especially on the Democratic side. In the House, the Ways and Means Committee is likely to welcome a couple of new GOP members and some returning Democrats. They’ll all join just in time for Republicans’ push to extend the Trump tax cuts and pass a sprawling reconciliation package.
