Ranking Member Grijalva Announces New Subcommittee Staff Director for Indian Affairs
Washington, D.C. – House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) today announced Bobby Ahern as the new Subcommittee Staff Director for Indian Affairs on the Indian and Insular Affairs Subcommittee. Brian Modeste remains the Subcommittee Staff Director for Insular Affairs.
Ahern, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs in Oregon, comes to the Committee from Senator Ron Wyden’s (D-Ore.) office, where he has served as Senior Policy Advisor for natural resources, agriculture, and tribal policy issues since 2019. Before coming to the Hill, Ahern spent nearly two years at the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) as a Congressional Relations Coordinator, working to advance tribal health priorities nationally.
“Bobby’s range of policy experience and clear commitment to Indian Country will be a tremendous asset to the Committee’s work to strengthen tribal sovereignty and honor our trust and treaty responsibilities,” Ranking Member Grijalva said. “We are lucky to have him joining the team.”
