Political Career
Waxman served six years on the California State Assembly before beginning his long run in the House. He is the Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the former head of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. -
Leadership Fight
After the November 2008 elections, Waxman successfully challenged Dingell for the chairmanship of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees everything from environmental legislation to health care. Dingell, head of the Committee for 28 years, was backed by House members who believed he could create a coalition of labor and environmental groups on legislation, given the location of his district in the heart of the auto industry. Waxman is considered more liberal than Dingell, and is also 13 years younger than the 82-year-old Dingell.The New York Times: Longtime Head of House Energy Panel Is Ousted (November 20, 2008) -
