Gibbs' subcommittee has jurisdiction over clean water infrastructure; water resources development for navigation, flood protection, and ecosystem restoration; water pollution control; and hazardous waste cleanup. The panel also conducts oversight of the federal regulation of clean water.
Gibbs, a former president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation who is serving his second term in Congress, also chaired the subcommittee as a freshman last year
"Our focus and priorities will remain on creating jobs, cutting waste, and removing unnecessary government bureaucracy and regulatory red tape," Gibbs said in a press release.
