Rep. Mary Fallin (OK-5) has announced her appointment to the House Armed Services Committee, a post she sought out after winning re-election in November.The committee is responsible for funding and oversight of the Department of Defense and the military.
Fallin, R-Okla., says the presence of an Army post and Air Force bases makes the military an important part of life in Oklahoma and she will work to protect the installations.
As a member of the Armed Services Committee, Fallin will now be directly involved in lawmaking affecting the military installations throughout the state, including Tinker Air Force base, the state's largest single site employer.
She said her 5th District alone has 60,000 military veterans.

She is my good friend from the 06 campaign but I could not resist this pun:
"She experienced "armed services" when she accepted the advances of her highway patrol driver."
Hey sometime love happens in strange ways. She is a great public servant.
