HONOLULU (AP) — Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii was named to the Armed Services Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Gabbard said Hawaii plays a significant role in advancing defense and policy in the Asia-Pacific region. She said her appointment ensures Hawaii will continue to have a role on the important committee.
Gabbard said she hopes to cut waste and inefficiency in the Department of Defense. As a combat veteran, she said she takes her responsibility very seriously.
Gabbard was named to fill a seat that was left vacant by Democratic U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews of New Jersey. He resigned from Congress in February during an ethics investigation.
