U.S. Rep. Greg Lopez has been appointed to the House Budget and Science, Space and Technology committees, the Colorado Republican announced Tuesday.
The newest member of the state’s congressional delegation, Lopez was sworn into office last week after winning a June special election to fill the remainder of former U.S. Rep. Ken Buck’s term.
Lopez said he will take a conservative approach to federal spending on the budget panel while shining a light on his district’s “significant and robust” tech sector as a member of the science panel.
