McCaskill Gets A Seat on Armed Services

Rep. Ike Skelton won't be the only Missouri lawmaker to sit on a commitee that oversees the military.

Senator-elect Claire McCaskill was tapped today to serve on the Senate Armed Service Committee, according to the Associated Press.

The newly elected Missouri Democrat also will have a seat on the Senate committees on commerce; homeland security and government affairs; aging; and Indian affairs.

Committee assignments announced Tuesday by incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., are subject to final negotiations with Republican leadership but are not expected to change.
