U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Oklahoma, has been appointed to the Committee on Natural Resources, the Committee on Small Business, and the Committee on the Budget.

“I am excited to get to work with my colleagues on the Natural Resources, Small Business, and Budget Committees,” Rep. Hern said. “Thousands of Oklahomans are employed in the Energy sector, an industry that is directly impacted by the work of the Natural Resources Committee. I look forward to working for our people in this capacity.

“The Small Business Committee will be a great opportunity to help business owners reach their American Dream and create a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities.

“The Budget Committee is at the heart of Congressional spending and plays an important role in managing our federal debt.”
