The House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, the leadership group that chooses caucus members for the top panel spots, named their choices Tuesday for the so-called exclusive committees.

These leadership spots for Democrats on the powerful committees were all uncontested, despite generational upheaval elsewhere in the caucus. All of the lawmakers selected Tuesday served as ranking member in this Congress. The steering panel’s recommendations will now go to the full Democratic caucus for approval, though those votes are expected to be perfunctory.

The picks for the exclusive committees include:

Ways and Means: Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.) 
Financial Services: Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) 
Appropriations: Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.)
Energy and Commerce: Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) 
Rules: Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.)
