Davids Reassigned to Transportation & Infrastructure, Agriculture Committees for 119th Congress
Today, Representative Sharice Davids announced her reassignment to the U.S. House Transportation & Infrastructure (T&I) and Agriculture Committees for the 119th Congress. Davids has served on the T&I Committee since being sworn into Congress and joined the Agriculture Committee in 2022 after Kansas’ Third District was expanded to include more rural areas. Davids' role represents a voice for the state on two major drivers of Kansas' economy.
"I'm proud to represent our diverse and vibrant community, and through these committee assignments, I will work to build an economy that works for everyone in our district," said Davids. "Infrastructure and agriculture are issues that touch every person in the Kansas Third — the food we eat, the water we drink, the systems that connect us. My goal on these committees is to bring Kansans' voices, concerns, and successes to my work in Washington."
Both committees are set to take up major legislation this session. The Agriculture Committee will continue its work on the Farm Bill, which shapes federal agriculture and nutrition policy impacting urban and rural families across Kansas. The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee is expected to address surface transportation reauthorization, a key opportunity to improve roads, bridges, and transit systems essential to Kansas communities.
Davids has a strong bipartisan record on both committees. On T&I, she helped investigate the Boeing 737 MAX crashes, passed bipartisan legislation on aviation technology and workforce, and secured historic infrastructure investments. She has hosted U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and committee leaders to showcase critical infrastructure projects in the Kansas City area.
On Agriculture, Davids brought U.S. Department of Agriculture Undersecretaries to the Third District to discuss the region's meatpacking and dairy industries. She led a Farm Bill listening tour across the district and convened over 20 stakeholders, including former Senator Pat Roberts, to advocate for a Farm Bill benefiting all Kansans. In 2022, she was named a Friend of the Farm Bureau by the Kansas Farm Bureau.
