Washington, D.C. --- U.S. House Armed Services Committee Senior Republican Duncan Hunter (R-CA) today announced that Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) has been selected to be the new Ranking Member of the committee’s Readiness Subcommittee.
”Randy Forbes brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position that will benefit our Members, his constituents, and the men and women who wear the nation’s uniforms.

“I am honored to be able to better serve our Armed Forces by serving as Ranking Member on this important Subcommittee. Our military has and will continue to serve a critical role defending our nation, and the Readiness Subcommittee ensures that our military is up to any task this country asks of them.
