Speaking about today’s announcement, Governor McDonnell commented, “I am honored to have been appointed chair of the Legal Affairs Committee. This is an important time for governors as we become more and more involved in policy discussions at the federal level and I look forward to advising the executive committee on these efforts.
"It is critical that governors stay involved in the important decisions being made in Washington, DC that directly impact our states. I am also going to continue my service on the Special Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety as well as the Education, Early Childhood and Workforce Committee.
