Palazzo named to House Armed Services committee
BILOXI, MS (WLOX) – When Congressman-Elect Steven Palazzo takes office in January, he’ll have a seat on the House Armed Services committee. The House of Representatives Republican Conference approved the appointment Thursday, along with an assignment to the House Science and Technology Committee.
“I am honored my colleagues selected me to serve on these vital committees,” said Palazzo. “The responsibilities under the Armed Services and Science and Technology are critical to South Mississippi and our regional economy.”
The House Armed Services Committee is responsible for funding and oversight of the Department of Defense and our nation’s armed forces. Palazzo has served in the military since 1988, and recently re-enlisted this year for another three years in the Mississippi Army National Guard.
