FROM CONGRESSMAN LANGWORTHY: Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) was appointed to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Congressman Langworthy is the first member of Congress in modern history to represent the Southern Tier counties on this influential committee.

“I’m deeply honored to be named to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and have the opportunity to give a voice to Western New York and the Southern Tier — a region that sits atop the vast Marcellus Shale — on one of the most powerful committees in Congress. Under President Trump and a Republican Congress, this committee will be at the forefront of American energy independence and energy exploration, giving us the chance to bring long-overdue attention to the Southern Tier’s potential as an energy powerhouse. For too long, Democrats in Albany have held back our communities by blocking access to this transformative resource. On this committee, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our region’s needs are prioritized, its potential unlocked, and its voice heard in Washington,” said Congressman Langworthy.

“With the committee’s broad jurisdiction over energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and more, we have an unparalleled opportunity to influence the issues that impact families across the Southern Tier and Western New York. As we enter a new Golden Age of America, I look forward to working with the committee and President Trump to deliver real results that continue to make our country a better place to live, work, and raise a family,” Langworthy continued.

The Committee on Energy and Commerce is the oldest standing legislative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives and is vested with the broadest jurisdiction of any congressional authorizing committee. The committee is responsible for matters including telecommunications, consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health and research, environmental quality, energy policy, and interstate and foreign commerce, among others.

“Hardworking New Yorkers deserve nothing less than fair and independent districting that accurately reflects their voices.
