Sandy Adams Headed to Judiciary and Science, Space and Technology Committees

Newly inaugurated U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams announced her committee assignments on Monday. The Florida Republican will serve on the Science, Space and Technology, and the Judiciary committees. She will hold a seat on the Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security and the Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet subcommittees under the Judiciary Committee umbrella and the Space and Aeronautics and Investigations and Oversight subcommittees under the jurisdiction of the Science, Space and Technology Committee.

Serving on these two committees will give me the platform to be an effective advocate for Central Florida families, said Adams. My background as a law enforcement professional gives me unique insight into the issues before the Judiciary Committee. Throughout my career, justice has been at the forefront of everything I have done. While on the committee, I will continue to push for justice within our federal courts, administrative agencies and federal law entities.

After spending years working and meeting with Space Coast business leaders and NASA officials, I am ready to hit the ground running as a leader on space issues on the Science, Space and Technology Committee, she added. As a past member of the Space Caucus in the Florida House of Representatives, I look forward to continuing my work as an advocate for NASA and emphasizing the importance of space exploration to the rest of my colleagues on the committee and within the Republican caucus.

I plan to work with my new colleagues on these committees to find ways to help create private-sector jobs and grow the economy, while continuing my record of service to the communities I represent, Adams concluded.I thank Chairmen Ralph Hall and Lamar Smith for giving me the opportunity to serve my constituents on their panels and look forward to working with them in the coming Congress.
