Plum assignment awaits Harris She's a candidate for a coveted seat on the Homeland Security panel.

By JEREMY WALLACE

jeremy.wallace@heraldtribune.com

A high-ranking member of Congress says U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris will be given one of the most sought-after committee assignments on Capitol Hill.

U.S. Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., told a Sarasota crowd at a Republican fund-raiser on Friday night that Harris would get a coveted seat on the Homeland Security Committee. It is a post that Harris, R-Longboat Key, has quietly lobbied to get for months.

The new committee will have primary jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security and anti-terrorism policy decisions.

Reynolds is chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, considered one of the top leadership posts in the Republican-controlled Congress.

5. Actually, didn't she make that up?
I think it was uncovered later that she just made up the story and passed it to her sheeple.

16. She belongs in jail
certainly not in the House of Reps or for God's sake the Senate - it makes me so sick that the criminals in this administration or connected to it just keep getting rewarded....
