US Sen. Dan Sullivan announced his leadership roles for the 119th Congress. He has been named deputy whip for the Senate Republican Conference, the formal organization of the Republican senators in the US Senate.
Sullivan is the chairman of the Senate Armed Services’ Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support.
He is also chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Subcommittee on Coast Guard, Maritime, and Fisheries.
“The new Senate Republican majority has a great opportunity to enact President Trump’s agenda to unleash American energy, build up our military readiness, strengthen our national security, and revitalize our economy,” said Sullivan.
The Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee serves a vital role in overseeing the Defense Department and supporting our military’s readiness as America faces one of the most dangerous periods since World War II with dictators on the march and increasingly working together, Sullivan said.
“As chair of this subcommittee, I will be intently focused on our military’s lethality and ensuring our service members are as well-trained and equipped as possible should they ever be called upon to defend our nation,” Sullivan said. “Similarly, I look forward to building up Alaska and America’s infrastructure, broadband, and maritime capabilities to maximize our national security and commercial and economic opportunities through my leadership role on the Commerce Committee. I will also continue this focus on Senator [John] Barrasso’s team as a deputy whip. I am looking forward to working with this administration and with my Senate colleagues to get our country back on track.”
