Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Hill was named as a member of the body, which has included the 25th District representative for over a decade, including former chair of the committee, Congressman Buck McKeon.

“The Armed Services Committee was my top priority assignment because our district deserves a seat at the table in shaping smart and strategic national security policies, and because our servicemembers, veterans and their families at home deserve an unwavering voice in Washington,” said Hill.

The Armed Services committee directly impacts Santa Clarita, which is home to a large veteran population and many aerospace engineering companies, according to officials.

“Our district has more veterans per capita than almost anywhere across America, and our region is home to mission-critical defense and aerospace bases, facilities and businesses,” said Hill. “The work of my constituents does more than support our local economy—it secures our nation and our world.”

Pelosi named over a dozen appointees to three committees in a statement, saying the representatives have a “fresh vision, bold voices and vital expertise.”

“With their strong leadership, Democrats will deliver great progress to promote the well-being of the American people and defend the national security of our country, restoring a Congress that works for the public interest instead of the special interests,” said Pelosi.

Other committees also received appointments, including Labor and Education, as well as Ways and Means.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to bring our community’s priorities to Congress and advocate for us at the highest level,” said Hill.

  1. Congressman Buck McKeon was the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, not the Vice Chairman.

  2. Can you say political payback, and what the heck is Hill’s vital expertise, oh yeah she has none. Most of her ad campaign was what others have done, not her…

  3. Might be a good idea for Ms. Hill to go meet with Buck and get some insight into this job. Maybe our veteran representatives as well. Never hurts to do your homework for those she is representing.
