Use value of dropdown in email plugin

[billvv]

I need to use the value selected by a dropdown element in my Email to (eval): script, and using this:

$selected_committee = $this->data['batch_email___to_committee_members'];

returns the label. How do I return the value?

$selected_committee = $this->data['batch_email___to_committee_members_raw'];
