Claire McCaskill is the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The committee has broad jurisdiction over the federal government’s operations and the Department of Homeland Security. For the past two years, McCaskill has served as the top Democrat on the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Her new position as ranking member on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will dramatically expand McCaskill’s role in federal government oversight, protecting the homeland, and the guarding of taxpayer dollars from waste, fraud and abuse. “Holding the government accountable to its people, guarding taxpayer dollars from waste, and better protecting the safety of Missouri’s families have been the bread and butter of my work in the Senate,” said McCaskill, a former prosecutor and Missouri State Auditor. “I’m thrilled to have a bigger platform and stronger tools to fight for accountability and boost the safety and security of our communities.” McCaskill will serve alongside Republican Sen.Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who will again chair Homeland Security.
