Rep. Dave Trott Named To Foreign Affairs and Judiciary Committees

WASHINGTON, DC:  U.S. Representative Dave Trott (MI-11) today announced he has been named to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Committee on the Judiciary for the 114th Congress. 

“I’m honored to be selected to sit on the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Judiciary Committee. Both of these important committees have jurisdiction over key issues that impact the citizens of the Eleventh District and our entire nation. With the new Congress now convened, I am looking forward to bringing the voice of Southeast Michigan to these important committees,” said Rep. Trott, a Michigan job creator and lifelong resident of Oakland County.

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs, chaired by Rep. Ed Royce of California, considers legislation that impacts the diplomatic community, which includes the Department of State, the Agency for International Development (USAID), the Peace Corps, the United Nations, and the enforcement of the Arms Export Control Act.

The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, was established in 1813 and is at the forefront of some of the most significant issues facing our nation, including protecting constitutional freedoms and civil liberties, oversight of the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, legal and regulatory reform, innovation, competition and anti-trust laws, terrorism and crime, and immigration reform.

Rep. Dave Trott was sworn in as Congressman for Michigan’s Eleventh District on January 6, 2015.
