Today, the House Steering Committee selected Congresswoman Celeste Maloy (UT-02) to serve on the consequential House Committee on Appropriations. Rep. Maloy released the following statement:

“Being selected for the House Appropriations Committee is a huge honor and opportunity for me. I want to thank the Steering Committee for giving me this chance,” said Rep. Maloy. “I am eager to work with my colleagues on passing a fiscally sound and responsible budget. Serving on Appropriations will give me the chance to deliver on Utahns’ priorities.”

Congresswoman Maloy worked for former Congressman Chris Stewart - an appropriator - for over four years as his chief legal counsel. She handled appropriations, community funding requests, and worked closely with appropriations staff and members. Prior to serving in Congress she worked as a deputy county attorney, a public lands and water attorney, and for ten years with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She understands western issues and federal agencies inside and out.

The Appropriations Committee has broad jurisdiction and constitutional authority over the nation's financial resources.
