As her first committee assignment, Brownley requested to serve on the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, where she works closely with Ventura County’s veterans community and Naval Base Ventura County, making sure we provide the services and care our servicemembers, veterans, and their families have earned and deserve. Brownley was elected as Ranking Member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Health. As Ranking Member of the Health Subcommittee, Brownley focuses on improving veterans’ access to mental and physical healthcare, improving services for female veterans, and helping servicemembers transition from the military to the VA healthcare system. She also serves as a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs.
Brownley also sits on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, where she serves on the Subcommittee on Aviation, the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, and the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit. Since coming to Congress, Brownley has been a steadfast champion of the Port of Hueneme. She secured the funds necessary to dredge the Channel Islands Harbor and Ventura Harbor, and to replenish the sand at Hueneme Beach; passed two amendments to the Water Resources and Development Act to improve harbor maintenance activities; kept the towers open at the Camarillo and Oxnard airports, and spearheaded legislation to transfer land from the former Oxnard Air Force Base back to Ventura County to encourage business development around Camarillo Airport.
