Schatz replaces Hirono on Energy & Natural Resources Committee

The Hawaii lawmaker on the U.S. Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee has been switched.

Sen. Brian Schatz, who was appointed to fill the seat left vacant when long-serving Sen. Daniel Inouye died last month, will replace fellow senator Mazie Hirono.

Hirono was sworn in as a member of the Senate Thursday.
