WASHINGTON, D.C. — On June 14, Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) announced that he has been tapped to serve as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust within the House Committee on the Judiciary for the 118th Congress.
“I’m honored to be trusted to lead my Democratic colleagues as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust,” Rep. Correa said. “I’m ready to work across the aisle to continue the fight to protecting our most financially vulnerable—whether it be from unfair prices at grocery shelves, or predatory student loan lenders, and ensure that our hard-working American taxpayers are put back at the center of the political conversation, in Orange County, and in the halls of Congress.”
The Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust, which Rep. Correa was tapped to lead as the top Democrat on the panel, holds jurisdiction over bankruptcy and commercial law, bankruptcy judgeships, administrative law, independent counsel, state taxation affecting interstate commerce, interstate compacts, antitrust matters, and relevant oversight.
“Congressman Correa has been an outstanding member of the House Judiciary Committee for many years. As a member of the Committee, Congressman Correa has been a strong voice for American families and a steadfast advocate of immigrants seeking a better life in the United States,” said Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler. “As the next ranking member of the Antitrust Subcommittee, I’m confident Rep. Correa will continue fighting on behalf of American consumers and families. Congratulations to Congressman Correa on this well-earned achievement.”
The Committee on the Judiciary is home to the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust, and has been called the lawyer for the House of Representatives because of its jurisdiction over matters relating to the administration of justice in federal courts, administrative bodies, and law enforcement agencies. Any legislation that carries a possibility for criminal or civil penalties can be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, so its legislative workload is substantial.
