Boozman Named Ranking member of Water Resources & Environment Subcommittee

Boozman Blog: Rep. John Boozman replaces former Congressman Richard Baker as the top Republican of the Subcommittee with jurisdiction over water resources development, conservation and management, water pollution control, water infrastructure, and hazardous waste cleanup. Federal agencies under the Subcommittee’s jurisdiction include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency.

“Representative Boozman is a dedicated and hard-working Member of Congress with an excellent command of the critical issues before this subcommittee,” Mica said. “With his legislative experience and knowledge of the issues, John is the perfect choice to lead Subcommittee Republicans in their work to address the nation’s growing need for water infrastructure, port and waterway improvements, flood control projects and environmental stewardship.” “I want to thank Congressman Mica for giving me this opportunity. I look forward to working with Congresswoman Johnson,” Boozman said.

Boozman has represented the 3rd Congressional District of Arkansas since 2001, and has served on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee since first being elected. Boozman is also a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, having served as that panel’s Economic Opportunity Subcommittee Ranking Member. Boozman is an Assistant Whip for House Republicans, and serves on the House Policy Committee.
