Committees

I’m proud to have been appointed to the following legislative committees: Select Committee on Aging, Finance, Revenue and Bonding and Government Administration and Elections. Here is a bit of information about the types of matters each committee handles and Web links to more information about their daily affiars. I’ve also provided links to Web sites for the rest of the legislature’s committees. Don’t hesitate to call me if you have questions.
