Guest to Serve on Appropriations Committee in 118th Congress
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) has been recommended by the Republican Steering Committee to serve on the House Appropriations Committee for the 118th Congress. The Steering Committee recommendations will now go before the Republican Conference to be ratified. Congressman Guest noted the long-standing tradition of Mississippi Members serving on the committee.
“I’m honored to join a distinguished list of Mississippians who have served our great state on the Appropriations Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since the late Congressman Jamie Whitten, a Mississippian has served on Appropriations, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue this important tradition,” Congressman Guest said. “I plan to devote sincere attention to the priorities of our great state and to tackle some of the most important issues facing our nation by using the power of the purse. I am committed to advancing the Republican efforts to create a brighter future for our state and nation while promoting fiscal responsibility in the House of Representatives following four years of excessive spending led by our Democratic counterparts.”
“Given the reckless spending we’ve seen over the past few years, our Committee’s work will be at the forefront of the national debate. Fortunately, we have assembled a strong team to fight for fiscal responsibility. Members on our Committee represent all aspects of the conference – politically and geographically. I am confident that our new Members, who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise with them, will provide valuable insight to the Committee,” Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee Kay Granger said.
“Since taking office, Michael Guest has worked tirelessly to represent his district. This new position on the House Appropriations Committee will give him a powerful hand in advancing Mississippi’s interests in Congress. This is good news for our men and women in uniform, our research universities, and our city and county officials. I look forward to working with him and the other members of our delegation to support our state,” Senator Wicker said.
“I am confident my friend, Congressman Guest, will serve on the House Appropriations Committee with distinction and honor, just as he has since Mississippians elected him to represent their best interests in Congress,”said Senator Hyde-Smith, who serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee. “I congratulate him on this new committee assignment and look forward to working with him.”
“I enthusiastically support my colleague and friend, Michael Guest, in his new assignment on the Appropriations Committee. Michael is a results-driven fighter for Mississippi’s Third Congressional District. Strong, conservative Mississippi representation on the Appropriations Committee has been vital for Mississippi Agriculture, which helps feed and keep the nation secure,” Congressman Trent Kelly said.
“Michael and I both have a background in law enforcement, and we understand that a strong team is the key to success. Our state and our conference need Michael on the Appropriations Committee because he understands the importance of working together to get things done,” said Congressman Mike Ezell.
Prior to his selection to the Appropriations Committee, Congressman Guest served on the Committee on Homeland Security, the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Ethics Committee in the 116th Congress; and the Committee on Homeland Security, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Ethics Committee in the 117th Congress.
