Northwest Indiana once again has a representative on the powerful U.S. House committee that annually decides how to spend trillions of dollars in federal government funds.
U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, was appointed Tuesday to the House Appropriations Committee at the start of his third term after seeking a seat on the federal spending panel since first winning election to the House in 2020.
Northwest Indiana's representative in the U.S. House pledged Friday to remain focused on the issues most important to his nearly 800,000 constituents living in Lake, Porter and northwest LaPorte counties.
U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, said he considers the oath of office he took on the first day of his third, two-year term, to be "a sacred trust with the constituents of Indiana's First Congressional District."
In that vein, Mrvan said he commits to "faithfully performing my responsibilities to uphold the United States Constitution."
U.S. Rep. Frank J. Mrvan, D-Highland, said he will draw from the experience of his father, Frank E. Mrvan Jr., who worked in the Indiana State Senate as a Democrat amid growing Republican majorities.
Mrvan, who was sworn in Friday to start his third term, said as he enters the 119th Congress it will be his first time in the U.S. House with a Republican president and a slim Republican majority.
