WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08) announced he will serve on the House Committee on Ways and Means. Congressman Kustoff previously served on the House Financial Services Committee. The Ways and Means Committee is the oldest committee in the United States Congress and has jurisdiction over issues that affect West Tennesseans every day including taxes, healthcare, trade, and family support programs. 

"It is an honor to be selected to serve on the oldest committee in the House of Representatives, the House Committee on Ways and Means. As the only Republican from the Mid-South on this committee, West Tennessee and the Mid-South region will have a seat at the table on issues such as taxes, trade, and healthcare” said Rep. Kustoff. “I look forward to working to advance strong policies that will get our nation’s economy back on track and protect hardworking Americans and businesses against the Biden Administration's reckless agenda. I want to thank my colleagues, including Ways and Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady, for this great opportunity.” 

“It is my honor to welcome Rep. David Kustoff to the powerful Ways and Means Committee, a former U.S. Attorney for West Tennessee who has fought government corruption and defended thriving communities. He will be a crucial asset in the fight for lower taxes, affordable and accessible health care, ending the worker shortage, protecting Social Security, and restoring American leadership in trade. I look forward to working with him in the days ahead,” said Ways and Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady.

In addition to serving on the full Committee on Ways and Means, Congressman Kustoff was also appointed to serve on the Subcommittees on Social Security, Worker and Family Support, and Oversight.
