Their reelection campaigns have coincided with their ongoing bids in Washington to lead two House committees. Barr is vying to chair the House Financial Services Committee. Guthrie is competing to lead the Energy and Commerce Committee. Guthrie and Barr now hold subcommittee chairmanships, which the veteran congressmen hope will be springboards to landing jobs running the full committees. Barr’s congressional career began in 2013 after he defeated a Democratic incumbent. Guthrie was first elected to Congress in 2008.The Financial Services Committee has broad jurisdiction over the financial sector. The Energy and Commerce Committee wields power over energy, health care, telecommunications and consumer product safety policies.
