Fallin Wins Coveted Armed Services Post
Congresswoman Mary Fallin was appointed today to the House Armed Services Committee, responsible for funding and oversight of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the military. Fallin sought the assignment after winning reelection in November.
“With Army and Air Force bases training, housing or employing thousands of Oklahomans throughout the state and over 60,000 veterans living in the Fifth District alone, the military has always been an important part of life in Oklahoma,” said Fallin. “As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I will ensure we remain a vital location for military training and engineering and that Oklahomans continue to play an important role in our national defense.”
As a member of the Armed Services Committee, Fallin will now be directly involved in lawmaking affecting the military bases throughout the state, including Tinker Air Force base, the state’s largest single site employer.
