On Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced additional House committee assignments.
Congresswoman-elect Sara Jacobs (D-CA) was the only incoming House freshman named to the Foreign Affairs Committee. “I look forward to bringing my experience in U.S. foreign policy and international organizations and my voice as a millennial who has never known a day in my adult life that the United States has not been at war to the committee as we work to rebuild America’s standing in the world,” Jacobs told
Jewish Insider in a statement.
Congresswoman-elect Kathy Manning (D-NC) told JI last month that she was hoping to join Foreign Affairs. Instead, Manning was tapped for the Education and Labor Committee. Additional committee assignments are likely to be announced in January.
