Rep. Roys Elected Democratic Caucus Chair

MADISON, WI - Today, Assembly Democrats elected Rep. Kelda Helen Roys (D-Madison) as their next Caucus Chair. Upon her election, Rep. Roys issued the following statement:

"I thank my colleagues for placing their trust in me, and I am honored to have earned their support to serve as Democratic Caucus Chair for the next legislative session. I look forward to working with Assembly Democrat Leader-elect Peter Barca, Assistant Democrat Leader-elect Donna Seidel, and all of our legislative colleagues to grow Wisconsin's economy, fight for working families, and protect essential public services.

"Our team is strong and ready to cooperate with our colleagues across the aisle to find solutions for the pressing economic problems facing our state. In the last session, Democrats worked to prevent another Great Depression, protected and created thousands of jobs, preserved public safety and education, and held the line on taxes - all while balancing a budget with historic deficits.

"We know it can be done, and we stand eager to continue our most important task: creating jobs and strengthening the economy."
