Today, Senator Alexander was elected by Senate Republicans to be the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy & Water Development, which oversees funding for both national and Tennessee priorities, including the Oak Ridge National Laboritory, the Y-12 National Nuclear Security Complex and Chickamauga Lock.
