"Lee To Lead Senate Energy Committee Next Year" [1]
"Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) will lead the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee next year.
He’ll take over for the panel’s current top Republican, Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), who will become the upper chamber’s No. 2 Republican next year.
Current Chairman Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) is retiring. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) will take over as ranking member.
Neither Heinrich’s nor Lee’s appointment is a surprise.
But Barrasso and Manchin announced Tuesday following a committee meeting that both lawmakers would take the panel’s top spots, and Manchin literally passed his gavel to Lee."
