The Committee on Energy and Commerce is the oldest standing legislative committee (established 1795) in the U.S. House of Representatives and is vested with the broadest jurisdiction of any congressional authorizing committee.

The committee is led by Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone (NJ-06).
