Hello from Washington, I'm Chuck Todd. This is the Chuck Todd cast. My guest today is

Republican Congressman Kathy McMorice Rogers. I'm actually in her office right now.

She's the chair of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee. A lot of us like to joke.

What does the Commerce Committee like to do? What kind of jurisdiction does it have everything

she chimes in it's the best committee to be in charge of forget a probes and all

of that stuff commerce you're in charge of everything.

In February though, she now she was not going to seek another term.

She's been here 20 years.

She's been in politics, 30 years.

She's been representing Eastern Washington

for all of those times.

And what she doesn't know is we have a little thing in common

called Pensacola, which we'll talk about.

But I am, as I said here today, sitting in our office,

Chairman Rogers, thank you for inviting us in.

Thank you.

Welcome, Chuck.

Are you excited that this is your last term?

Are you forlorned?

How do you feel about them?

I'm mostly overwhelmed with gratitude for the honor of serving.

You know, there's a part of me that I'm excited.
