photo, at work in the CommitteeAfter serving for eleven years on the House Appropriations Committee, our Leadership appointed me the top “ranking” Republican for the Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies. This is a critical time of transformation in our military and it is an honor to act on behalf of those who serve our country. Along with this new post, I continue to work on the Energy and Water Subcommittee as the second most senior Republican, which is essential for programs in East Tennessee. You can read more about the work of these subcommittees below:

  • The Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee funds our military installations at home and abroad and provides important benefits for our nation’s 23 million veterans. The Subcommittee oversees the construction and maintenance of military bases and upgrades to veterans cemeteries in the U.S. and around the world. It also plays a role in ensuring that the government fulfills the promises made to our brave men and women in the armed forces.
  • The Energy and Water Subcommittee is especially important in funding key federal activities in East Tennessee and elsewhere in the state. This Subcommittee provides the funding for the ongoing replacement of the Chickamauga Lock in Chattanooga, and for the supercomputing, energy and national security missions at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In addition, the Subcommittee oversees the modernization of facilities at the Y-12 National Security Complex, invests in new research initiatives and funds environmental cleanup throughout the East Tennessee Technology Corridor.
