Washington DC–Congresswoman Donna Edwards (D-MD) was recommended to serve on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Science and Technology Committee.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, led by Co-Chair Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, voted to recommend Rep. Edwards for the two committee appointments.

"These are two tremendous committee assignments," said Edwards.  "I would like to thank my colleagues for the opportunity to serve on these committees.  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.  "Her keen intellect and powerful voice as a tireless advocate for her constituents and all Americans will make Congresswoman Edwards a leader in the New Direction Congress' efforts to expand on an innovation Agenda that invests in American ingenuity and repairs a crumbling infrastructure that will get our economy moving and create jobs."
