WASHINGTON—U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), the top Republican on the House’s tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, says he’s tested positive for coronavirus, weeks after receiving a first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Brady, 65, is the second House member to report testing positive for the virus this week. An aide to Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), 77, the top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, announced on Jan. 4 that the lawmaker had tested positive.
