Josh Hawley is Assigned to Several Senate Committees

Republican Josh Hawley will serve on the Armed Services and Homeland Security, the Judiciary, and Governmental Affairs committees when he takes office in the U.S. Senate next month.

Hawley announced the committee assignments Wednesday and he added that he will also serve on the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and the Special Committee on Aging.

Hawley says the assignments mean Missouri will have “strong representation in some of the most important debates we will have as a nation …”

Hawley defeated two-term incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill in the November election.
