It writes and negotiates the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which sets defense policy and spending levels. The committee also conducts hearings and investigations to monitor military operations, readiness, personnel policies, and weapons programs.\n\n\u201cI am honored to have been selected by my colleagues to join the House Armed Services Committee (HASC),\u201d said Congressman Conaway. \u201cI have the privilege of representing parts of Joint Base McGuire\u2013Dix\u2013Lakehurst, which is the only the tri-service military base in the United States. It not only prepares our nation\u2019s warfighters for battle but also serves as an integral part of our community. I\u2019m excited for the opportunity to work in a bipartisan manner to help fulfill the needs of the Joint Base and to support the service members across the globe who are defending our nation.\u201d", 1, "2026-05-21T06:28:16Z", "2026-05-21T06:29:43Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://conaway.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-herb-conaway-jr-md-announces-appointment-new-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9062569588422775, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
