Tulare's Congresswoman Connie Conway was selected to serve on the House Natural Resources Committee in Washington, D.C.
"The diverse water and energy challenges impacting the livelihoods of Central Valley residents and farmers,” Conway said in a statement.
She added that she looked forward to “working with my colleagues to address the drought and rising energy costs by modernizing outdated environmental laws and improving water storage infrastructure.”
Conway - elected in June to represent the 22nd District vacated by former Congressman Devin Nunes - will also serve on two subcommittees: Water, Oceans and Wildlife, and Energy and Mineral Resources.
Fellow Republican and ranking committee member Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) welcomed Conway to the committee.
“She brings a wealth of natural resources knowledge to the table, particularly from her experience living and working in California where long-term water solutions are desperately needed,” he said. “I know she’ll hit the ground running and be a valuable asset to our committee for the rest of this year.”
