Waltz, Lamborn Get New HASC Subcommittee Roles

January 11, 2022

To become ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio) is leaving his role as the top Republican on the Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee.

That spot will now be filled by Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), who’s currently the ranking member of the Readiness subcommittee. Replacing him in that role is Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.).

“I am grateful to [HASC] Ranking Member [Mike] Rogers for the opportunity to lead the Subcommittee on Readiness to ensure America’s warfighters are trained and equipped at superior facilities in order to address the multitude of threats facing our country,” Waltz said in a statement.
