Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., who serves on the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, will also be a part of the subcommittees of Health and the Environment & the Economy.
Baldwin welcomed the appointments.
""In the 112th Congress, I will continue to focus my efforts on job creation and improving health care. I am very pleased to be serving on two subcommittees that play such a direct role in both of these issues,"" Baldwin said in a statement.
In the newly Republican-controlled House of Representatives, Baldwin said she will continue to push reforms for job creation.
""As Wisconsin families continue to struggle with unemployment and the aftermath of the collapse of the housing market, I will use my position on the Subcommittee on Environment & the Economy to advance policies that will help our economy recover, create jobs and build a strong foundation for long term economic growth in the 21st century,"" she said.
