Collins Selected to Serve on House Natural Resources Committee

Washington - Representative Mike Collins (R-Ga.) was selected to serve on the House Committee on Natural Resources for the 118th Congress. Collins released this statement following the announcement:

“There are few committees more pertinent to the Peach State than the Natural Resources Committee. With Georgia being the number one state for forestry and having an abundance of surface mining, we can do a lot to support our local economy and bring jobs home. I look forward to working with Chairman Bruce Westerman to effectively cultivate and steward our nation’s vast natural resources so we can rebuild our economy and make America energy independent again.”

Background

Natural Resources has a broad jurisdiction that includes American energy production, mineral lands and mining, fisheries and wildlife, public lands, oceans, irrigation, reclamation, and legislation involving Native Americans. The Committee oversees all or part of several federal agencies, including the Departments of the Interior, Agriculture, and Commerce.
