Committee Appointments


I am excited to report that I will be serving as Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Workforce Development. Workforce development involves a complex set of institutional, administrative, fiscal and regulatory challenges; and a comprehensive approach will be needed to achieve optimal results. I look forward to working with committee members and stakeholders to craft good public policy that will ensure Wisconsinites are well-positioned to meet existing and future workforce needs.


My other committee assignments for the 2013-2015 Legislative Session include: 

Children & Families (Vice Chair)
Environment & Forestry
International Trade & Commerce
State & Federal Relations
Joint Legislative Council
