Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) announced that he will be the next Chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee in the 119th Congress after serving as the Ranking Member during the 118th Congress. Cassidy’s announcement followed an announcement earlier in the day from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) that he would not pursue the chairmanship on the Senate HELP Committee and would instead become chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
