John Mica Names Dan Webster to Transportation Committee

Republican U.S. Rep. John Mica --soon to be the chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure when the GOP takes control of Congress in January -- named new Republican members of his committee on Thursday, including incoming U.S. Rep. Dan Webster of Florida.

The new members of the committee will be rolling up their sleeves and helping to improve our nations infrastructure, put people back to work, get stalled projects moving, and conduct aggressive oversight of transportation projects and policy, said Mica. The committee and its new Republican members will be at the forefront of cutting government waste and red tape, and to finding cost-effective solutions for getting our country moving in the right direction.

Webster defeated Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson back in November.
