Duncan to chair Foreign Affairs subcommittee

Third District Representative Jeff Duncan begins the 114th session of Congress next month as chairman of a Foreign Affairs subcommittee. In a statement from Washington, the Laurens Republican said, “I am honored and humbled to have been selected as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. I look forward to the privilege of serving the people of South Carolina in this new capacity, deepening ties with our closest neighbors in the region, promoting North American energy independence, and conducting vigorous oversight to require accountability from the Administration on its programs and practices in the region.”
