U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) today issued a statement applauding the Senate’s confirmation of Rep. Jim Bridenstine as the new NASA Administrator:

“I am glad the Senate has finally done its job and confirmed Jim Bridenstine as the new NASA Administrator. With many milestones fast approaching, NASA now has a leader in place to ensure America remains first in space exploration. Jim understands the needs of our space program and shares in the vision that will propel America back to the Moon, onward to Mars, and beyond. I have full confidence in his abilities to perform the job well, and look forward to working with him in my role as the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Space. Congratulations, Jim!”

Babin led a letter last month signed by 65 Members  Members of Congress urging the Senate to approve Bridenstine’s nomination.
