Committees and Subcommittees

As a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, I deal with many issues that are of great importance to the residents of the 13th District of New Jersey.

On the Foreign Affairs Committee, I am a member of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere and the Subcommittee on Europe and Eurasia. These Subcommittees have jurisdiction in these particular regions to conduct foreign relations with the U.S.; draft legislation with respect to disaster relief and foreign loans; administer foreign military sales and security pacts; oversee human rights practices and environmental policies; and supervise United Nations and foreign assistance activities.

On the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I am a member of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit and the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials. These Subcommittees have jurisdiction over the nation's highways, public transportation, transportation security, highway safety, rail security, Amtrak, passenger and freight rail infrastructure, and movement of hazardous materials.
