(The following appeared on the Progressive Railroading website on June 9.)
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Republican leader John Mica (R-Fla.) recently named Joyce Rose staff director for the committee’s Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials to succeed John Brennan, who became senior counsel for Union Pacific Railroad.
For the past seven years, Rose has served as a professional staff member for the committee, working on the Highways and Transit Subcommittee staff and specializing in transit issues. Prior to that, she worked for the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations for 13 years, serving as a professional staffer responsible for federal transit and rail funding issues, as well as pipelines and hazardous materials, and transportation research.
