Who runs the House committees?

The United States House of Representatives is in charge of 28 committees. Who runs these committees and what are they used for?

The United States House of Representatives has 28 committees, 23 of which are permanent committees and five are joint committees with the United States Senate.

The committees consider legislation and have oversight of executive branch agencies and programs within their jurisdiction.

Each committee has a chairman and a ranking member. The chairmanship is held by a congressman or congresswoman from the party of the majority party, while the ranking member is held by a congressman or congresswoman from the party of the minority party.

During this Congress, Democrats hold the majority, meaning all chairs of all committees are Democrats, and the ranking members of all committees are Republicans.
