Chairman Cassidy Announces New Subcommittee Chairman, Member

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, announced that U.S. Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) will become chairman of the Subcommittee on Employment & Workplace Safety following Secretary Markwayne Mullin's departure to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Cassidy also welcomed U.S. Senator Alan Armstrong (R-OK) to the committee.

"Senators Banks and Armstrong are longtime conservatives who will do good work in their new roles," said Dr. Cassidy. "I'm looking forward to working with them to continue advancing a pro-family, pro-patient, pro-worker agenda."

"I'm grateful for this opportunity to help more workers get the training they need and support American manufacturing," said Senator Banks. "Rebuilding our industry starts with supporting the people who keep this country running and making sure working Americans can get ahead."

"I'm honored to join the Senate HELP Committee," said Senator Armstrong. "Expanding opportunity, supporting jobs skills development, and ensuring healthier communities are foundational to a strong economy. I'm ready to get to work."
