INDIANA— Indiana Congressman Mark Messmer has announced his appointment to two influential U.S. House of Representatives committees that will directly impact the interests of those in the 8th District.

Messmer, who began his first term in Congress in January, has been named to the U.S. House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Agriculture.
The Armed Services Committee is particularly significant for the 8th District as it oversees decisions that directly affect the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center, a critical facility in the region. Messmer expressed enthusiasm about the appointment, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Crane’s continued support and success, which plays a vital role in national defense.
In addition to his role on the Armed Services Committee, Messmer will also serve on the House Committee on Agriculture, responsible for shaping policies that impact farmers nationwide, including those in Indiana. The congressman noted that the committee’s work is crucial to the future of Hoosier agriculture, and he looks forward to advocating for the district’s farming communities.
With these appointments, Messmer is poised to significantly impact key issues affecting his constituents, from national defense to agricultural policy.
