Chairman Gordon Congratulates Incoming Ranking Member Eddie Bernice Johnson
(Washington, DC) –Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) was recently approved by the House Democratic caucus to be Ranking Member of the Committee on Science and Technology in the 112th Congress.
Chairman Bart Gordon (D-TN) offered the following statement:
“I congratulate incoming Ranking Member Johnson. She’s been a champion of STEM education, a tireless advocate for increasing participation across the STEM fields, and one of NASA’s biggest supporters. I think the Committee will be well-served with her as Ranking Member.
I know she’s looking forward to working with incoming Chairman Ralph Hall (R-TX). I know he’ll be a good Chairman, and I hope that they will work well together and continue the Committee’s record of being able to work across the aisle to advance science, foster innovation, and support STEM education.
As I near retirement, I’m most proud of the Committee’s bipartisan record—with 151 bills and resolutions passing the House and all receiving bipartisan support. I hope that new leadership will allow it to continue to be the Committee of good ideas and consensus. ”
