House Agriculture Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson has named representative Dan Newhouse as the new Chair of the Subcommittee on Forestry and Horticulture.
He takes over following the passing of Representative Doug LaMalfa in January. Thompson called Newhouse a strong advocate for working lands and specialty crop producers.
Newhouse says he is honored to step into LaMalfa’s shoes.
“It’s truly a privilege to receive the gavel for the Forestry and Horticulture Subcommittee. These are two issues that are at the center of our agriculture industry and natural resources in the State of Washington, and I look forward to working closely with Chairman Thompson on moving the Farm Bill this Congress. It is also an honor to fill the shoes of my late friend, Doug LaMalfa, who led this subcommittee as a fighter for these issues in Northern California. I am thankful for this opportunity and ready to get to work.”
