Andrew Clyde to serve on US House Appropriations Committee

There is a new House committee assignment for Athens gun shop owner Andrew Clyde: the Republican who represents northeast Georgia’s 9th Congressional District has been appointed to a seat on the US House Appropriations Committee.

From The Hill…

Clyde told The Hill on Wednesday that he was “very excited” to join the Appropriations panel and work to pass 12 regular individual appropriations bills — a commitment that McCarthy made to secure the Speakership. Congress has not approved all 12 of those regular bills on time since 1997.

“Conservatives need to be represented on these committees in order to make sure that we have a government that is financially and fiscally responsible,” Clyde said.
