Maine 2nd District Congressman Jared Golden has been named vice chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees the Navy’s shipbuilding contracts.
The Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee oversees the acquisition program for shipbuilding at shipyards like Bath Iron Works and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
“Navy sailors should be defending our country with the best ships in the world, and those ships are built by the shipbuilders at Bath,” Golden wrote in a statement Wednesday. “As the new Vice Chair of the Seapower Subcommittee, I’ll use my position to help protect thousands of good jobs at the shipyard, work to prepare the next generation of Maine shipbuilders, and ensure American servicemembers are well-equipped to protect our nation.”
