Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) will serve as the ranking member of the newly reorganized Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction/Veterans’ Affairs. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) remains the chair of the subcommittee.

Senator Feinstein has also been added to the Homeland Security Subcommittee and will continue to serve on the Subcommittees for Agricultural/Rural Development, Defense, Energy and Water Development, and Interior.

“I am pleased to have another opportunity to work with Senator Hutchison on this subcommittee,” Senator Feinstein said. “I look forward to working together on behalf of the many service members and veterans in our respective states and across the country. With so many military and veterans’ facilities in my home state, I will be working to ensure that California has the resources to fund the projects it needs.”
