Hahn Speaks Up at First Homeland Security Committee Meeting

Rep. Janice Hahn was appointed to the Homeland Security Committee and actively participated in her first committee meeting on Sept. 8. The meeting focused on the state of national security 10 years after the 9/11 attacks.

“It was especially fitting that my first Homeland Security hearing would come as we near the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11,” said Hahn. “I’m looking forward to working with my colleagues on the committee to strengthen the security of our communities and our critical infrastructure, especially the Port of Los Angeles and LAX.”

Hahn questions witnesses testifying before the committee.
