Press Release

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) has secured membership on two key subcommittees of the 112th Congress. A member of the powerful House Committee on Energy & Commerce, Baldwin also sits on its Subcommittee on Health and the Subcommittee on Environment & the Economy.

"In the 112th Congress, I will continue to focus my efforts on job creation and improving health care. I am very pleased to be serving on two subcommittees that play such a direct role in both of these issues," Baldwin said.

"As Wisconsin families continue to struggle with unemployment and the aftermath of the collapse of the housing market, I will use my position on the Subcommittee on Environment & the Economy to advance policies that will help our economy recover, create jobs, and build a strong foundation for long term economic growth in the 21st century," Baldwin said.

In addition to job creation, Baldwin has focused on health care reform throughout her career in public service. Her continued service on the Subcommittee on Health involves her directly in implementing new health care reforms. "Wisconsinites know that achieving affordable, quality health care for all is the issue that brought me to Congress. I am thrilled that I will continue to play a central role in crafting health care legislation and in overseeing the implementation of health care reform," Baldwin said.
