Bonus…
We’ve had some recent staff changes here on the Committee – as you’ll see at next week’s mark-up. Amanda Kelly, having worked on the Committee since 2001, has started in her new role as the Committee Calendar Clerk. Allison Seyferth has been promoted to Executive Assistant for the Democratic Staff, and Jake McCook has stepped up to the plate as the new staff assistant for the Natural Resources staffers. We welcome these familiar faces in their new roles!
