If, as widely expected, the Dems take the House tonight, it will represent a fundamental shift in power in D.C. A big part of that will be control over key committees. Here are the main green-related committees, and the House member who stands to take over in a Dem-controlled House:

Committee on Agriculture
Currently chaired by Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.)
Ranking minority member is Collin Peterson (D-Minn.)

Grist State of Emergency | A limited-run newsletter from Grist, exploring the ways climate disasters are reshaping elections. Delivered every Tuesday until Election Day.
