U.S. Representative Jo Bonner-Alabama visits NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan

Jo Bonner
In November 2008, the people of Alabama's First District voted to return Congressman Jo Bonner to the House of Representatives for a fourth term. Mobile's Press-Register recently noted Bonner "continues to move up in the House GOP ranks, gaining key committee assignments and building prestige as a member of House Minority Leader John Boehner's leadership team."


Just last year, Bonner was appointed to the House Committee on Appropriations. At a time when fiscal discipline is under intense scrutiny, the Steering Committee entrusted Bonner with the seat to help reform the earmark process and restore fiscal credibility to Washington. Bonners priority is to serve as a vigilant guardian of the taxpayers money, helping to eliminate wasteful and questionable spending. At the beginning of the 111th Congress, Bonner was named to the Commerce, Justice, and Science Subcommittee as well as the Labor, Health, and Human Services Subcommittee.




In addition to the Appropriations Committee, the Republican leadership named Bonner ranking Republican member of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, more commonly known as the Ethics Committee. With the topic of ethics at the forefront of so many discussions in Washington, Bonner was first tapped by his peers at the beginning of the 110th Congress to serve on the committee that has jurisdiction over matters relating to the Code of Official Conduct. Bonner will also continue to serve as an assistant on the Republican Whip Team, a position to which he was named as an incoming freshman in the 108th Congress.
