Today, House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) welcomed the members the Republican Steering Committee recommended to serve on the committee in the 118th Congress. Westerman issued the following statement:

"A coach is only as good as his team, and I couldn't be more excited about the team we've assembled here on our committee. Each member is bringing a unique perspective, experience and passion to the dais, and together we'll make a natural resources powerhouse. I've already had conversations with many of our members about issues we're going to tackle like western drought, wildfires, the Biden border crisis, government accountability, domestic energy and more.
