WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Melanie Stansbury (N.M.-01) announced that she will be serving on two subcommittees of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability that are key to serving New Mexico communities.
In addition to being unanimously elected by her House Committee on Natural Resources colleagues as Ranking Member for the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Rep. Stansbury will serve on the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs and the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce.
“I am honored to serve on subcommittees that are so vital to New Mexico’s communities to ensure that we protect our lands and waters and the rights, benefits, and well-being of New Mexico’s nearly 30,000 federal employees,” said Rep.
