The House Armed Services Committee has filled two vacancies, one for each political party.
Rep. Niki Tsongas, D-Mass., who will serve on the military personnel and strategic forces subcommittees, fills an opening left by the resignation earlier this year of Rep. Martin Meehan, who represented the same congressional district.
The new Republican on the committee is Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado, who fills a vacancy created by the death of Rep. Jo Ann Davis, R-Va. Lamborn, whose congressional district includes Colorado Springs, is also a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. He was assigned to the readiness and seapower subcommittees.
