Wirch Announces 2023 Session Committee Assignments

Madison-Senator Bob Wirch (D-Somers) announced that he has been appointed to the following Senate committees for the 2023-2024 legislative session: the Senate Committee on Housing, Rural Issues and Forestry; the Senate Committee on Labor, Regulatory Reform, Veterans & Military Affairs; Senate Committee on Licensing, Constitution & Federalism; and the Senate Committee on Natural Resources & Energy.  Wirch will also serve as the Senate Democratic member on the State of Wisconsin Building Commission. 

“I’m pleased and excited to be joining these important committees. I’m happy to continue my advocacy for workers’ and veterans’ rights, natural resources and sportsman’s issues in the upcoming session. I look forward to tackling homelessness prevention and mitigation on the Housing Committee, and serving on the Building Commission provides a great opportunity to advocate for key projects in Kenosha, Racine, and around the state.  I’ll be looking for areas of agreement in a very partisan Legislature,” Wirch said.

Wirch has served on committees focused on the environment and natural resources throughout his time in the Legislature. He served as ranking member on the Senate Labor Committee during the last five legislative sessions.  He was also a member of the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee last session.

The State Building Commission is chaired by the Governor and is tasked with developing and implementing the state building program, as well as issuing bonds for the state.
