Harry,
I suggested the list widget <$list not the list-links macro who uses bullet
points for the list.
Also I would be inclined to set your values outside the table and keep it
simple in side the table
<$set name=agchair filter="[field:of1[27341089]]"> <!-- if this works? -->
<$set name=incumbent-chair value={{senate agriculture
committee!!incumbent_chair}} ><!-- example like my previous one-->
| !Committee | !Chair |
| !Agriculture | <<agchair>> |
</$set></$set>
