Davis Named Chair of the Armed Services Personnel Subcomittee

Congresswoman Davis was recently selected to chair the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee. Davis is the first San Diegan to chair the subcommittee.

Military healthcare, recruitment and retention, and military education fall under the subcommittee’s jurisdiction. A leading advocate for military families in San Diego and around the world, Davis intends to conduct thoughtful hearings which will focus on the needs of our servicemen and women and their families.

Mental health care (especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), strategic language training, and improving overall access to care for service members and families are some of the issues the new chairwoman will tackle in the near future.
