Committee on Indian Affairs
This committee listing is misplaced under Mullin’s U.S. House service. Official records show his House committees were Energy and Commerce and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence; he joined the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs only after becoming a senator in the 118th Congress.
Full reasoning
This line appears in the article’s U.S. House of Representatives section under Committee assignments, but official congressional records do not list Indian Affairs as one of Mullin’s House committees.
The official 117th Congressional Directory lists Markwayne Mullin’s House committees as Energy and Commerce and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It does not list Indian Affairs.
An official page from the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs says that “In the 118th Congress … Senator Mullin also joined the Committee.” The 118th Congress began in January 2023, when Mullin entered the Senate. So listing Committee on Indian Affairs in the House section is incorrect.

The committee’s official history says: “In the 118th Congress Senator Schatz remained Chairman of the Committee, while Senator Murkowski served as Vice Chairman. Senator Mullin also joined the Committee.”
Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pension
This committee name is wrong, and it is also misplaced in the House section. The official Senate committee is called the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, and Mullin’s House committees were different.
Full reasoning
This entry is incorrect for two separate reasons.
First, the official committee name is Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions — plural Pensions, not singular Pension. The Senate HELP Committee’s official “About” page says that in 1999 it was officially named the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
Second, this line appears in the article’s U.S. House of Representatives section under Committee assignments, but the official 117th Congressional Directory lists Mullin’s House committees as Energy and Commerce and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. So this was not one of his House committee assignments.

Committee on Environment and Public Works
This committee listing is incorrect in the House section. Mullin’s official House committees were Energy and Commerce and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, while Environment and Public Works is a Senate committee.
Full reasoning
This line appears in the article’s U.S. House of Representatives section under Committee assignments, but official congressional records do not list Environment and Public Works as one of Mullin’s House committees.
The official 117th Congressional Directory lists Mullin’s House committees as Energy and Commerce and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Also, the official U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works website identifies this as a Senate committee. So placing Committee on Environment and Public Works in Mullin’s House committee list is incorrect.
