Congressman Mullin Appointed To Subcommittee

Congressman Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) announced he has been appointed to the House Natural Resources Committee's Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee.

Mullin said "Our district has both mining and energy production.  Also, part of the southern leg of the Keystone XL Pipeline runs through our district.  The 2nd District will benefit from my work on the committee."

On another issue, the Office of Congressional Ethics made a referral to the House Ethics Committee about Mullin. However, the subject of the referral has not been disclosed.  The referral was announced earlier this month.

Ashley Kehl, Mullin's communications director, said Tuesday  "Congressman Mullin is cooperating with the House Ethics Committee and believes he is in full compliance with all ethics rules."

The Office of Congressional Ethics is an outside organization that can refer cases to the House Ethics Committee.
