The recount in the race for Arizona race between Martha McSally and far left Ron Barber is done. As of the time I’m writing this, there have been no public results of the record released.McSally who lead Barber by a few hundred votes after the election in November would give the Republicans 247 seats in the House of Representatives, if the Democrats can’t steal this seat for Barber. Seems like they are pretty confident that McSally will prevail as she’s already been given Armed Services and Homeland Security Assignments in the House.
Retired Air Force Colonel Martha McSally today announced her placement on the Homeland Security Committee, a committee responsible for providing oversight of the Department of Homeland Security and helping to better protect Americans from terrorist attacks. In addition to the Homeland Security Committee, McSally announced her placement on the Armed Services Committee earlier today. Both committees play key roles in policy-decisions affecting Southern Arizonans.

“I’m glad that I’ll have the chance to work directly on an issue that is so important to the people of Southern Arizona,” said McSally. “The safety and security of our communities is a top priority and I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Homeland Security Committee to represent Southern Arizonans on this critical issue.”
“I am pleased to welcome Martha to the Committee on Homeland Security. She brings a firsthand understanding of our border issues, having spent countless hours hearing from ranchers and border residents in Southern Arizona. That kind of experience is invaluable to the work of the committee,” said Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul. “Martha is going to be a great addition to the committee and its work to secure our borders and keep Americans safe.”
As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, McSally will engage in the committee’s oversight and policy-making role on issues such as border security and preventing terrorist attacks on our homeland. Arizona’s Second District includes 83.5 miles of the US-Mexico border and is one of nine Congressional districts that includes a portion of the Southwest border.
