Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
announced
today
that
he
will
now
be
serving
on
the
U.S.
Senate
Armed
Services
Committee,
which
has
jurisdiction
over
matters
relating
to
the
Department
of
Defense,
U.S.
Army,
U.S.
Navy,
U.S.
Air
Force
and
a
variety
of
other
defense-related
issues.
Senator
Scott
said,
“This
is
an
amazing
opportunity
to
work
closely
on
issues
important
to
the
members
of
our
Armed
Services,
their
families,
and
our
national
defense.
South
Carolina
is
home
to
thousands
of
the
brave
men
and
women
who
have
signed
up
to
defend
our
nation,
as
well
as
some
of
our
nation’s
critical
military
infrastructure.
Having
two
brothers
who
served,
I
know
well
the
sacrifices
made
by
members
of
our
Armed
Forces,
and
I
will
continue
working
to
ensure
our
military
is
the
best
trained
and
equipped
fighting
force
in
the
world.“
Following
the
election
of
Senator
Doug
Jones
(D-AL),
membership
on
Senate
Committees
changed
to
reflect
the
new
51-49
Republican
majority
in
the
