WASHINGTON — Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, both of Georgia, will join the Senate Banking Committee for the 117th Congress, according to numerous press reports.
Warnock and Ossoff, who won runoff election contests in early January to flip the Senate to Democratic control, will serve on the committee chaired by Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.
Meanwhile, Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, will no longer serve on the banking panel. The two committee assignments were first reported in a tweet attributed to Politico.
Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., had a seat on the committee before losing his reelection bid to Ossoff in January.
