On December 13, 2018, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced Democratic committee assignments for the next Congress, including the addition of Senators Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) to the Senate Finance Committee.

They will replace departing Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Bill Nelson (D-FL).
