Although House committees usually don’t get much attention from the media, they are essential to our legislative work. Our committees are where “the rubber meets the road” when it comes to identifying issues and developing new bills. In our committees, we hold hearings to gather information from subject matter experts and members of the public, asking questions and raising concerns. From there, we craft legislation and bring our recommendations to our colleagues in the full House.
It’s an honor to serve on these committees, and I’m eager to get started! As we move forward, I’ll keep you up-to-date on our progress.
