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. Only one new member was elected in 2024, Ward 7’s Wendell Felder, but Ward 8’s Trayon White has been expelled, so the number of Committees once again stays at 10 (not counting the Committee of the Whole, which everyone is a member of and which is chaired by Chairman Mendelson, who does not sit on any other committees.)
It’s hard to keep track of who’s on which committee, so here’s my biennial attempt to make it easier. 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.
