113th Congress Veterans' Affairs Committees Roster

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) continues as chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, and DAV expects to continue our strong relationship with him in his duties as our Chairman and leader. Given the departure of Rep. Bob Filner from the House, the Democratic Caucus selected Rep. Michael Michaud (D-Maine) as the new Ranking Member of the Committee.

“Representative Michaud has been a champion of DAV issues during his years of service on the Committee, and we have the highest regard for his bipartisan and empathetic approach to veterans issues in the finest traditions of the House of Representatives,” said National Legislative Director Joseph Violante. “We believe he and Chairman Miller will become an excellent team to serve the best interests of veterans.”

“Chairwoman Murray has been a magnificent leader on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, leading on a number of key proposals that are now law,” said Violante. “She will be missed, but in her new capacity DAV is confident Sen.
