House Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Sam Graves is seeking a waiver to remain the committee’s top Republican during the next Congress.
Unlike Democrats, Republicans have committee leadership term limits. Graves (R-Mo.) spent two terms as ranking member before becoming chair this year.
Graves confirmed his intentions to E&E News on Tuesday but said he’s more focused on pending matters this year, including the Federal Aviation Administration and water projects bills.

“We’re going to complete the priorities we’ve already set out to do,” Graves said. CQ Roll Call was first to report his waiver intentions.
