Senate appropriators are facing what could be a major shake-up in subcommittee leadership after the upcoming elections.

Current Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Jon Tester , D-Mont., is in a perilous position in his reelection race against Republican Tim Sheehy , a Navy veteran and founder of an aerial firefighting company.

If Tester were to lose his reelection bid, Hawaii ’s Brian Schatz would be next in line to be the top Democrat on the Defense panel.

Sinema , a former Democrat who continued to receive committee assignments from her old party, joined Appropriations following the death of California ’s Dianne Feinstein .

She has run the Military Construction-VA panel since April .

Every member currently on it either has another subcommittee they would likely stick with or chair an “A” level full committee.
