WASHINGTON – Two of Nebraska’s three members of the House have been officially placed on their committees.

The newest member of Nebraska’s congressional delegation, 1st-district Congressman Mike Flood, was placed on two subcommittees Thursday.

Flood, who was appointed to the Financial Services Committee last week, added appointments to the Housing and Insurance subcommittee and the Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion Subcommittee.

"It’s a significant honor to join these two subcommittees as a part of my work on Financial Services," Flood said in a press release Thursday.

The longest serving current member of Nebraska’s delegation, 3rd-district Congressman Adrian Smith, remains on the House Ways and Means Committee. He is the ranking member of the Trade Subcommittee, as well as a member of the Health Subcommittee.

Several committees have not made formal announcements, meaning 2nd-district congressman Don Bacon is not officially on a committee yet.

Neither the Agriculture Committee nor the House Armed Services Committee have announced their members for the 118th Congress. Bacon has served on both committees previously, including as the ranking member of the Agriculture Subcommittee on Nutrition, Oversight and Department Operations.

Mike Flood is the founder and an owner of Flood Communications and News Channel Nebraska.
