Senator Klobuchar, who has brought competition policy to the forefront of our national conversation.

I want to thank Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa for his service as Ranking Committee Member in the last Congress.

I look forward to working with him again and all the Members of the Committee during the next 2 years.

I would like to welcome the new Ranking Member, my friend, Senator Lindsey Graham.
