Energy and Commerce Committee Race Heats Up | US News

The Energy and Commerce Committee is heating up as both Democrats and Republicans scramble for coveted open seats—eight of them—with big stakes in shaping healthcare, AI, energy, and communications policy. Dems are already circling, with moderates vs. progressives likely to clash over who leads; names like Dexter, Stansbury, Tokuda, and Sorensen are stepping forward. On the GOP side, Dr. Bob Onder, backed by the GOP Doctors Caucus, is leveraging his 30+ years in medicine to fill a void left by departing doctors, while Brad Knott pitches North Carolina’s energy demands. Current Chair Brett Guthrie confirms it’s a “buzzing” race—lawmakers from both parties see this committee as a power hub that will define our future.
