Full Committee

Vice Chairman Rob Wittman (R-Va.)

"As a lifelong outdoorsman, conservationist, and former marine scientist, I am deeply honored to serve as vice chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and use my leadership role to advocate for a cleaner, safer, and healthier Chesapeake Bay. America – and particularly Virginia – is home to an abundance of natural resources that we have a responsibility to properly steward for future generations. I look forward to serving alongside my friend Chairman Westerman, who has done a phenomenal job leading our committee, and I thank him for putting his trust in me."

Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources

Chairman Pete Stauber (R-Minn.)

"With President Trump at our nation’s helm and a unified Congress ready to work, I know we can finally undo the damage committed by the Biden Administration and unleash our nation’s vast energy and mineral resources. I am incredibly grateful to lead the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee at this pivotal time in American history, and I thank Chairman Westerman for entrusting me with this incredible platform."

Subcommittee on Federal Lands

Chairman Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.)

"I’m honored to be returning as the Chairman of the Federal Lands Subcommittee. We have a fantastic opportunity to build off the great work we accomplished the past two years, and with the new landscape of D.C., there is a real opportunity for us to get our initiatives over the finish line and into statute. The Federal Lands Subcommittee will continue to advocate for better forest management, increased local control, and common-sense policies that protect public access while defending the multiple use heritage that adds value for people and conserves our natural resources."

Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs

Chairman Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.)

"I am honored to serve as Chairman of the Indian and Insular Affairs subcommittee, and to build upon the great work of past chairwoman Rep Hageman. This chairmanship will give the people of the Third District, Colorado and the west a voice on issues that are pivotal to our country. I thank Chairman Westerman for this opportunity to serve at a higher level."

Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations

Chairman Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.)

"I am honored to be appointed by Chairman Westerman to once again serve as Chair of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and also serve on the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. I look forward to working with every member of this committee to protect our natural heritage, manage our resources and advance conservative conservation policies while ensuring transparency and accountability within the federal government."

Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries

Chairwoman Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.)

"I am honored to serve as Chair of the Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee and as a member of Energy and Mineral Resources. I spent my legal career protecting Wyoming’s industries from federal overreach and promoting local autonomy in resource management, and as a member of the Natural Resources Committee, I look forward to working with my colleagues to empower local expertise, reduce burdensome regulations, and deliver real solutions for hardworking Americans."
