"I'm looking forward to serving on the Senate Committee on Armed Services in the next Congress. All three of my brothers served in the military, and I understand the sacrifices America's service members make to defend our country - and the important work that our Defense Department does to keep Americans safe. As a member of the Committee, I will focus on making sure Congress provides effective support and oversight of the Armed Forces, monitors threats to national security, and ensures the responsible use of military force around the globe,” said Warren.

Warren Added, “I'm proud that Massachusetts leads the nation in innovative defense work and scientific research that helps and protects our service members as they do their jobs. During my time in the Senate, I've visited bases and met with defense companies and research labs across the Commonwealth, and I've seen the critical role they play in strengthening our national security. I look forward to continuing to work closely with them as a member of the Committee."

Her appointment is subject to conference and Senate ratification.
