Congressional Investigations

Former US Congressman Jim Turner spent his years in the House of Representatives (1997-2004) on the Committees on Homeland Security, Armed Services, and Government Reform, where he was a key player in Congress's vigorous oversight of homeland security issues, the military, and the agencies under the jurisdiction of those committees. His two decades of experience as an elected federal, state, and local official gives him deep insight into the critical role of the Congress in conducting oversight hearings. He served as ranking member of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security and ranking member of the Terrorism Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, where he won praise from both parties for his leadership on critical issues affecting US security. He served in state government as a member of the Texas State Senate (1991-1996) and a member of the Texas House of Representatives (1981-1984), and has held other state and local government offices.
