Issues: Legislative Branch
U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai"i) will serve on five key Senate Appropriations Subcommittees: Defense; Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; Transportation, Housing and Urban Development; and Legislative Branch.
"I am grateful to Chairman Cochran and Vice Chairwoman Mikulski for the opportunity to help shape the Department of Defense's priorities, especially as it relates to the Asia-Pacific region," said Senator Schatz.
