As The Census Project reported in a recent blog, committees in the U.S. Senate responsible for funding and overseeing the U.S. Census Bureau had announced their leadership and, in some cases, completed rosters. At the time this blog was published, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which has oversight authority of the Census Bureau, had not announced its complete subcommittee rosters.
In a February 6 media release, Committee Chairman Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-MI) announced that the following members had been assigned to serve on the Subcommittee on Disaster Management, District of Columbia, and Census:
Subcommittee on Disaster Management, District of Columbia, and Census
Josh Hawley (R-MO) – Chair
Andy Kim (D-NJ) – Ranking Member
Rick Scott (R-FL)
Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Ashley Moody (R-FL)
Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
Elissa Slotkin (D-MI)
In related news, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee confirmed to The Census Project that the Census Bureau would fall under the jurisdiction of its Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy and Regulatory Affairs. That subcommittee is chaired by Representative Eric Burlison (R-MO-7) and the Ranking Member is Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10). A complete roster of subcommittee members is posted on the subcommittee’s website.
