We face serious challenges and I look forward to immediately getting to work on these committees in order to help my district and our country move in a new direction."
"As a member of both the Transportation and Infrastructure and Science and Technology Committees, Congresswoman Donna Edwards will help lay the foundation for a strong future for our nation," Speaker Pelosi said.
