House Committee on House Administration

House administration and services, including House accounts and employment, federal elections, Members’ credentials and campaign contribution reporting, congressional compensation and benefits, the Congressional Record, office space, and the Library of Congress and Smithsonian Institution.

House Committee on House Administration has 12 members, made up of 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats. Bryan Steil chairs it. Joseph D. Morelle is the ranking member, which is the senior post held by the minority party. House committee assignments are made at the start of each 2-year Congress, so membership can change substantially after every general election. The membership below is generated from the roster this site maintains against clerk.house.gov and senate.gov.

Jurisdiction source: House Rule X

How business reaches this committee

House Rule X gives this committee the subjects above. Each bill introduced in the House is referred to the committee whose Rule X jurisdiction covers its primary subject, and a bill that spans several subjects can go to more than one committee at once. This committee then decides whether to hold hearings, amend the text and report it to the floor.

Subcommittees

The committee divides its work among 2 subcommittees:

  • Subcommittee on Elections
  • Subcommittee on Modernization and Innovation

Who serves on it

12 representatives sit on the committee: 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats. That gives the majority 8 of the 12 seats. Bryan Steil is the chair. Laurel M. Lee is the vice chair. Joseph D. Morelle is the ranking member. They sit for 12 districts, and each of those districts has its own page on this site.
