In the 119th Congress, Senator Tuberville serves on the following committees:
The Senate Armed Services Committee has jurisdiction over aeronautical and space activities associated with the development of weapons systems or military operations; the Department of Defense (DOD) including the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force; and military research and development.
In addition to full committee work, Senator Tuberville is also proud to be Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel. As the leader of this subcommittee, Sen. Tuberville is leading the charge to staff key DOD military and civilian personnel, policies, compensation and benefits, and military nominations. He provides oversight on a wide range of military budget accounts and various DOD offices and agencies. His work ensures servicemembers are taken care of both while in service and in the years following.
Senator Tuberville sits on the following SASC subcommittees:
Our heroes from Alabama put service above self to protect our freedoms, and our state has a long history of military excellence. Alabama is home to many important installations including Maxwell Air Force Base, Ft. Novosel, Redstone Arsenal, Anniston Army Depot, and Dannelly Field. Each location serves a unique and critical purpose from securing our skies to ensuring our safety at sea. Additionally, the Port of Mobile is central to our maritime defense and shipbuilding industry, and Huntsville, where Space Command will soon call home, leads the nation in the development of aerospace defense through surveillance and rocket programs.
From Mobile to Muscle Shoals, the development of a strong national defense service is synonymous with Alabama – and we are rightly proud of that. The work of this committee is critical to ensuring our military has the resources it needs to protect our country against current and future threats, and it’s our responsibility to give our servicemen and women the support they deserve to ensure our military remains the greatest fighting force in the world.
The Senate Committee on Agriculture has jurisdiction over agricultural economics and research; agricultural extension services and experiment stations; agricultural production; and forestry and forest reserves.
In addition to full committee work, Senator Tuberville also sits on the following Senate Ag subcommittees:
From soybeans to catfish and poultry to peanuts, Alabama is home to some of the most productive and innovative farmers, producers, and foresters our country has to offer. It is an honor to represent Alabama agriculture and our rural communities on the Senate Agriculture Committee. Now more than ever, our farmers, foresters, and producers need certainty, stability, and for our economy to reopen so they can continue to feed, clothe, and fuel America. Our rural communities in Alabama need broadband connectivity to ensure our rural health centers, schools, businesses, and family farms can stay competitive and connected in today’s world.
As we look towards the next Farm Bill, the coming years will be critical to lay the foundation for key initiatives including rural development and broadband, trade, and forestry programs to benefit Alabama’s farmers both today and in the future. Alabama’s rural communities can rest assured I’ll be a strong voice for them in Washington.
The Senate HELP Committee has jurisdiction over health, education, workforce training, and labor legislation.
Senator Tuberville is also proud to be Chairman of the Senate HELP Subcommittee on Education and the American Family. Last Congress, Sen. Tuberville served as Ranking Member of this Subcommittee, which was previously the Subcommittee on Children and Families. As Chairman, one of Senator Tuberville’s first actions was renaming the Subcommittee to reflect two things Alabamians hold dear: education and family values.
As Chairman, Senator Tuberville is focused on empowering parents to make the best educational decisions for their children, fighting to preserve Title IX protections for women and girls, ending woke curriculum in schools, and investing in workforce development and job training programs to set our young people up for success.
Senator Tuberville sits on the following HELP subcommittees:
As a former educator, coach, and mentor for more than 40 years, I know firsthand that education is the key to unlocking opportunity. Unfortunately, our education system has been failing our kids. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Education and the American Family, I am laser-focused on creating more high-quality education options for students that fit their unique needs and unlock their God-given potential, rather than forcing everyone into a one-size-fits-all system. This is why I’ve consistently advocated for school choice during my time in the U.S. Senate.
The Senate Special Committee on Aging is focused on studying matters related to wellness, longevity, and quality of life for all Americans, especially older Americans. While special committees have no legislative authority, they can study issues, conduct oversight of programs, and advance important causes.
The fact that so many American senior citizens are concerned about their general welfare is unacceptable. We live in the most abundant country in the world. Anxieties about things like public safety, harmful chemicals in foods, financial security, and retirement security shouldn’t be at the forefront of our seniors’ minds, but they are. Elites in Washington have ignored these concerns for far too long, and the American people are tired of it. With President Trump’s election and Republicans taking back the Senate, we’re going to leave no stone unturned. I want to make sure that when Americans, especially our seniors, are asked about their wellness, they respond with hope and optimism, not fear and anxiety.
