SENATOR GOODWIN ANNOUNCES HIS SENATE COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS

**GOODWIN TO SERVE WEST VIRGINIA ON ARMED SERVICES, BUDGET, HELP AND RULES COMMITTEES**

Washington, D.C.-Senator Carte Goodwin today announced that he will serve West Virginia on four Senate Committees: Senate Budget Committee, Senate Armed Services Committee; Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP); and, the Senate Rules and Administration Committee.

"Serving West Virginia as your Senator for the coming months is my greatest honor, and my new Committee assignments will mean a strong voice at the table for the families of our great state.  Having the opportunity to work for West Virginia on the issues that really matter to our state - from economic security and balancing the federal budget, to protecting the brave soldiers who put their lives on the line for our security, to strengthening our education and health care systems - is a responsibility I take very seriously.  We need to put people back to work and improve the economy in West Virginia and that is my number one priority. I will work as hard as I can to fight for you in my time in the U.S. Senate."
