Rouzer appointed to House Natural Resources Committee

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — There’s little doubt natural resources are an important aspect of life and economics in southeastern North Carolina. Now our representative in the US House will have a direct impact on them.

This week, Rep. David Rouzer (R-7th District) was appointed to serve on the House Committee on Natural Resources.

“Our natural resources are a major attribute to the quality of life in our state and throughout the nation,” Rep. Rouzer said in a news release. “North Carolina is home to many national parks and forests, and our beaches and waterways are precious resources, as well. It is an honor to have the opportunity to represent North Carolina on this important committee, and I look forward to advocating for southeastern North Carolina in this additional capacity.”

The House Committee on Natural Resources considers legislation regarding American energy production, mineral lands and mining, fisheries and wildlife, public lands, oceans, Native Americans, irrigation and reclamation.

Rouzer also serves on the House Committee on Agriculture and House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
