Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) “will serve on the Senate Appropriations Committee this Congress, the only new senator to join the panel on the Democratic side,” Roll Call reports.
“His assignment — which Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) announced Thursday along with other Democratic committee rosters — is likely a reward for Peters agreeing to serve as Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chair for another election cycle.”
