We probably already had a thread like this before, but anywho, pick your poison.

As for me, I would probably be happiest serving in the Judiciary Committee, Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, and the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee.  The Budget Committee would be a strong fourth.

I chose mine based on my expertise in healthcare, education, environment, and taxes.

- Small Business and Entrepreneurship

Did you forget the Ways and Means Committee? Because that's the one I would be on for certain.

But besides that one:
1. Budget
2. Judiciary
3. Small Business

4th would probably be Finance or Appropriations (to be Dr. No mostly Smiley)

I took the list of standing committees from here.  I probably should have been more specific and mentioned that this is a list of Senate standing committees. Tongue

Judiciary
Foreign Relations
Finance

My fourth would probably be Appropriations.

I'm surprised to be the first (and so far only) one to choose Finance, as it also happens to have jurisdiction over Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Consdering where I'm from and my personal interests:

1. Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry
2. Small Business and Entrepreneurship
3. Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions

Fourth would probably be Judiciary, since I believe in more moderate judges and thus bring something new to the table (not to mention the influence of that committee.) Smiley

1. Environment and Public Works
2. Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs (why is Banking with the other two here?)
3. Commerce, Science, and Transportation

2 and 3 are pretty much tied; honorable mention to Energy and Natural Resources.
