FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong has been selected to fill a seat vacated by the new Speaker of the House.
Armstrong has been recommended by the House Republican Steering Committee to serve on the House Judiciary Committee for the remainder of the 118th Congress.
The seat became vacant when Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana was elevated to Speaker.
Armstrong said the House Judiciary Committee is the frontline of many issues important to North Dakotans.
Since January, Armstrong has served on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government and was a member of the full committee from 2019-2021.
