While the 109th Congress adjourned on Saturday, the Democratic Leadership in the House has been busy making plans for next year. Today Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi announced the Democratic Steering Committee has finished its work in recommending nominees for some key committees in the House including, of most interest to ACR members, the tax-writing House Committee on Ways and Means. The new Democratic Ways and Means Committee members are: Reps. Earl Blumenauer (OR), Ron Kind (WI), Bill Pascrell (NJ), Shelley Berkley (NV), Joe Crowley (NY), Kendrick Meek (FL), Chris Van Hollen (MD), Allyson Schwartz (PA), and Artur Davis (AL).

Below is an updated Ways and Means Committee roster with the new members included. We expect the Republicans to have one or two vacancies to fill and will report back with these nominations when they are made.
