By the Associated Press and KFDI News:

Republican Senator Roger Marshall has received the Senate Agriculture Committee seat that he told Kansas voters he would get if they elected him.

The freshman senator also received seats on the Senate’s energy, small business and health and education committees.

The Agriculture Committee has long been a key assignment for Kansas senators. Marshall was a two-term western Kansas congressman when he ran for the Senate last year, and he played up his service on the House Agriculture Committee as a reason voters could expect him to be named to its Senate counterpart.

Senior Kansas Senator Jerry Moran will be the ranking Republican on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee.   Moran will also serve on the Appropriations; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Commerce, Science and Transportation; Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; and Indian Affairs committees.
