Every two years DC Council members move to new comittees as former members depart and new folks come in. By Council Rule—or the Chairman’s fiat—new members don’t get to chair a committee in their first half-term, but everyone else does. Conveniently, in 2023 as in 2021 we have just two new members, so the number of Committees stays at 10. (Everybody’s a member of the Committee of the Whole, which is chaired by the Chairman.)
It’s hard to keep track of who’s on which committee, so here’s my attempt to sort things out. For what agency is under which committee—which also changes every two years—see the companion post .
Committee members who dropped in the next Council Period—either because they left Council, or just moved to another Committee—are marked thusly, while new members will appear like this .
