HSS&T Republican Subcommittee Members Announced

The House Science, Space and Technology Committee has announced the subcommittee chairs and Republican members for each of its five subcommittees. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that four of the five subcommittee chairs are freshman lawmakers just elected in November.

The subcommittee chairs are:

• Energy and Environment, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD)
• Technology and Innovation, Rep. Ben Quayle (R-AZ)
• Research and Science Education, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL)
• Space and Aeronautics, Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS)
• Investigations and Oversight, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA)

Rep. Broun is the only veteran lawmaker in the group. In the last Congress he was the ranking Republican on the I&O subcommittee.
