The Republican side of the Senate Armed Services Committee will look different this Congress. Former Sen. James Inhofe, the committee’s top Republican for years, has retired. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) is now the ranking member, serving alongside Chair Jack Reed (D-R.I.)

Also gone from the committee are Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). Taking their places are freshmen Sens. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.).

In the previous Congress, the committee was split 13-13, but Democrats now have a 13-12 advantage.

The full committee roster is available on the SASC website, but subcommittee listings have yet to be officially posted.
