"Turner Appointed as Top Republican on House Intelligence Committee
January 3, 2022
DAYTON, OH – Congressman Mike Turner (OH-1 has been appointed to serve as the Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence which went into effect Saturday. This appointment is historic because it marks the first time ever that the U.S. Representative for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has assumed a leadership role for a national security committee.
This appointment will allow Rep. Turner to further advocate for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which is home of the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), the Air Force’s primary source for foreign air and space threat analysis. The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) oversees the nation’s intelligence community including portions of the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, State, Treasury and Energy. During his time in Congress, Turner has successfully added more than 10,000 jobs to the base, and it remains the largest single-site employer in the state of Ohio. In 2018, Turner helped expand the intelligence operations at Wright-Patt by working to secure $182 million in federal funding for construction of a new NASIC building on base. After the appointment, Turner and other key leaders released the following statements:
“The House Intelligence Committee's work is critical to our national security and this opportunity will further allow me to work closely with Wright-Patt to address our nation's security challenges. As the Ranking Member, I am committed to supporting the men and women in the Intelligence Community and I would like to thank Leader McCarthy for his confidence.” – Ranking Member Mike Turner"
