Got Juice? Congressman Massa lands a third Committee - Homeland Security
Our Freshmen Congressmen have “Juice”.
- Maffei lands a Judiciary Committee assignment in addition to the exclusive, unless there is a waiver, Financial Services Committee.
- Massa wanted and got three assignments. Instead of transportation, he lands Homeland Security
via Massa Press release
WASHINGTON D.C. - Last night it was announced that Congressman Eric Massa has been appointed to the House Committee on Homeland Security. The announcement of all Democratic members on the committee was made late last night. Rep. Massa also serves on the House Committee on Agriculture and the House Committee on Armed Services.
“Having spent 24 years protecting America in the military, I am ready to continue this role in the Homeland Security Committee,” said Congressman Eric Massa. “I think my presence on the Homeland Security Committee combined with my seat on the Armed Services Committee will both be valuable tools toward creating good jobs in the defense sector right here in Western New York.”
As I said earlier - this provides the ability to leverage the assignments in order to provide a greater return for upstate.
Now about the Homeland Security Committee. What is interesting is that the minority has its own website as well. Not that is not improper, so does transportation, agriculture and probably others as well. In the case of Home Land Security Committee it is run by ranking HSC committee minority leader, future Senator Gillibrand opponent, Peter King.
