WASHINGTON, D.C. (WCBD)- Rep. Nancy Mace has been selected to serve as the chairwoman of the Oversight Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Informational Technology, and Government Innovation in the 118th Congress, her office announced Wednesday.
“Securing our nation’s data, protecting our cyber infrastructure, and studying emerging technologies of the future like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and blockchain integrations is more important today than ever,” Rep Mace said in a statement. “We have the opportunity to really dig in and get to work on these issues under Chairman James Comer’s leadership.”
