Asian and Pacific Islander American Members’ Committee Assignments (Standing, Joint, Select) in the U.S. House

This table lists alphabetically all the House committees on which Asian and Pacific Islander American Members served. Several features will help readers track Asian and Pacific Islander membership on committees over time:

• In instances where a committee’s name (rather than its primary jurisdictional duties) has changed, a “See also” note refers researchers to prior or latter committee name iterations. These name iterations are listed in chronological order.
• In instances where a committee on which an Asian and Pacific Islander Member served was disbanded and its jurisdiction subsumed by another committee, a “Jurisdiction reassigned” note is provided. Not all reassigned jurisdictions are listed. Researchers are referred only to the committees with expanded jurisdictions on which Asian and Pacific Islander Members later served.
• In instances where a committee was disbanded and no jurisdictional transfer occurred, only the Congress and date ranges of the committee are provided.
• Members’ terms of service on committees are listed by Congress. This chart does not account for Members joining or leaving committees because of deaths, resignations, and special elections.
• Resident Commissioners from the Philippine Islands did not receive committee assignments.
• Also serving without committee assignments for partial terms: Robert W. Wilcox (56th Congress, 2nd session, 1900–1901) and Colleen Hanabusa (114th Congress, 2016).
