I serve on the following committees in the 111th Congress:
Committee on Education and Labor
The Education and Labor Committee and its five subcommittees oversee education and workforce programs that affect all Americans, from early learning through secondary education and from job training through retirement.
Committee on Science and Technology
The Science Committee has jurisdiction over all non-defense federal scientific research and development (R&D). Federal agencies that fall under the Committee's jurisdiction (either completely or partially) include: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Transportation (DOT), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Science Foundation (NSF), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee currently has jurisdiction over all modes of transportation: aviation, maritime and waterborne transportation, roads, bridges, mass transit, and railroads. But the Committee has jurisdiction over other aspects of our national infrastructure, such as clean water and waste management, the transport of resources by pipeline, flood damage reduction, the economic development of depressed rural and urban areas, disaster preparedness and response, activities of the Army Corps of Engineers and the various missions of the Coast Guard.
