Boyle Assigned to Two Important Ways & Means Subcommittees

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, House Ways & Means Chairman Rep. Richard Neal (MA) announced official subcommittee assignments for Democratic House Ways & Means Committee members. Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) was appointed to the following two subcommittees: the Select Revenues Subcommittee and the Trade Subcommittee.

"Serving on the Ways & Means committee has given me a powerful platform to fight for Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," said Boyle. "With my new appointments to the Select Revenues and Trade subcommittees, I will continue to use these positions to create and enact policy to ensure the people of Pennsylvania and people of America have the support they need to emerge from this pandemic and to thrive once we have."

The oldest committee in Congress and the only one to be called for in the U.S. Constitution, the Ways and Means Committee is the chief economic development committee. It presides over key issues such as tax policy, trade, Medicare, and Social Security. The committee counts among its former members: seven U.S. Presidents, eight U.S. Vice-Presidents, twenty-one Speakers of the House of Representatives, and four Justices of the Supreme Court.
