COMMITTEES
I am
fortunate to have the opportunity to sit on five Standing Committees of
the Wisconsin State Assembly, giving residents of the 81st District a
strong, active voice for their views and best interests in a wide range
of policy debates. Read below to learn more about the committees on
which I sit and the roles that they play in the Assembly.
COMMITTEE ON
AGING AND LONG-TERM CARE
REP. PEGGY KRUSICK, CHAIR •
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
From my advocacy for
affordable housing for seniors in the 81st District to my efforts to
keep area residents aware of identity theft and other fraudulent schemes
that disproportionately target the elderly, I'm proud of my work to
honor and protect our senior citizens; my seat on the Committee on Aging
and Long-Term Care enables me to fight for seniors on the front lines of
the legislative process.
COMMITTEE ON
CONSUMER PROTECTION
REP. GORDON HINTZ, CHAIR •
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
Protecting consumers
from efforts to rob them of their health, safety, or hard-earned money
is one of my top priorities as a member of the State Assembly. The
Committee on Consumer Protection is constantly finding new ways to
safeguard the interests of consumers across the state, and it's
gratifying to play such an important role in crafting the bills that
help Wisconsin look out for its citizens.
COMMITTEE ON
ELECTIONS AND CAMPAIGN REFORM
REP. JEFF SMITH, CHAIR •
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
Campaign finance and
election reform are two extremely important issues, and I'm honored to
be one of the members of the Assembly charting a new course for
Wisconsin elections on the Committee on Elections and Campaign Reform.
As an advocate of the National Popular Vote and clean elections, my vote
on this committee helps to build a solid, progressive majority for
reform efforts.
COMMITTEE ON
HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE REFORM
REP. JON RICHARDS, CHAIR •
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
As Vice Chair of the
Committee on Health and Healthcare Reform, I'm one of the Assembly
members in the driver's seat on one of the most important issues facing
Wisconsin: health care. As an advocate for women's health by trade and a
legislator who believes universal healthcare is a human right, it's an
honor to work on this vital legislative priority.
COMMITTEE ON
STATE AFFAIRS AND HOMELAND SECURITY
REP. FREDERICK KESSLER, CHAIR •
COMMITTEE INFORMATION
Just as important as
keeping Wisconsin healthy and prosperous is the task of keeping it safe.
That's the role I play on the Committee on State Affairs and Homeland
Security, where I work with my colleagues on implementing thoughtful,
responsible ways of guaranteeing the security of every citizen of
Wisconsin while respecting the civil liberties of all.
In addition
to her duties in the State Assembly, Rep. Roys is also a member of the
Wisconsin Women's
Council. |
