Chairman Mica Announces Committee Staff Appointments
Washington, DC – Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL) announced two staff appointments today, including the promotion of Jennifer Hall to General Counsel of the Full Committee.
Ms. Hall joins the Full Committee staff after serving as counsel for the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit since May 2008. She first joined the Committee staff in 2006 as counsel for the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. Prior to working at the Committee, she served at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and was counsel for the Committee on Government Reform. Ms. Hall is a graduate of the University of Arizona and received her J.D. from the University of Notre Dame Law School.
“Jennifer is a professional with a great legal mind and knowledge of the legislative process and parliamentary procedures,” said Chairman Mica. “Jennifer has been a key staffer for the Committee for years and has worked on a number of important issues including emergency management and surface transportation law. She is a tremendous asset to the outstanding Members and staff we have on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.”
Ms. Hall came to the Committee in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to work on legislation reforming federal disaster response. Most recently she has been the Committee’s point person on motor carrier safety, transportation planning, and environmental streamlining issues.
Shant Boyajian, formerly an investigator on the oversight and investigations staff of the Committee, joins the Highways and Transit Subcommittee as counsel. Shant served as a law clerk at the Department of Energy prior to joining the Committee’s oversight staff in March 2011 and received his J.D. with honors from the Catholic University of America.
“Mr. Boyajian has done excellent work as a Committee investigator, particularly in uncovering waste and highlighting the need for reform of the Transportation Security Administration,” said Chairman Mica.
