Rep. McCaul to Lead House Homeland Security Committee
Congressman Michael McCaul is expected to be approved as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. The Republican lawmaker from Austin, who just won re-election to District 10, would replace Congressman Peter King of New York, who recently said he was leaving the post. The position oversees the Department of Homeland Security.
Congressman McCaul already chairs the subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations and Management, and has been very involved in the areas of immigration, border security and anti-terror measures.
