Lummis Appointed To Committees

The U.S. House of Representatives announced committee assignments for the 113^th Congress Monday, and U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis will be returning to a post on the House Natural Resources Committee following a two year absence from that board.  That committee has oversight authority on Wyoming’s expansive government-owned land; mineral production; all matters regarding national parks, forests, monuments, wilderness, and wildlife refuges; and Native American affairs. Lummis is also to serve on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Lummis says that landing committee assignments with jurisdictions that are important to Wyoming affords her a better opportunity to advance Wyoming’s agenda.
