Virginia Republican Rep. Morgan Griffith is in line to become the next chair of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, said three people familiar with the announcement granted anonymity to discuss the plan.
“There’s a good possibility,” E&C Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) said Wednesday when asked if Griffith would be named chair of the Health Subcommittee. “We’re announcing tomorrow, though.”
Griffith is currently chair of the Environment Subcommittee. Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas is his vice chair.
