Alaska’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives Mary Peltola has secured a seat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Peltola then defeated former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich III in the November general election to secure her first full term in Congress.
“This Committee’s work is critical to our state’s economic development,” Peltola said in the release. “As Alaska depends on federal infrastructure dollars to support projects statewide, this position will enable my office to exercise more influence over funding that is crucial to growth in Alaska. I ran for Congress promising to build on Representative Don Young’s legacy.
Peltola also serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the Committee on Education and Labor.
