Stevens indictment yields new post for Hutchison

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, is the new top-ranking Republican on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.

She replaces Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who was indicted Tuesday on allegations that he made false statements about gifts he received from corporate executives.

Hutchison said she expects Stevens to return to the role. But with a tough re-election fight on his hands, Stevens finds himself in both legal and political jeopardy.

The committee’s jurisdiction includes issues related to transportation, highway safety, communications, sports and regulation of consumer products.
