These committee assignments will allow me to continue to be a leading voice for our state's military veterans, while also being able to work on legislative issues important to the taxpayers of the 79th Assembly District.

"With the legislature set to come back into session, I am looking forward to working on these committees. Thorough committee work is incredibly important to the legislative process and there is no doubt I will have the opportunity to work on several important pieces of legislation as a result of these committee assignments. Whether it be standing up for our state's veterans, protecting access to our unrivaled natural landscapes, or ensuring our government works in an open and transparent manner on behalf of the taxpayers of this state, there is much work to be done in the legislature. I hope the vigorous work ethic I will bring to these committees will be matched by my legislative colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we work to move Wisconsin forward.

"Again, I want to thank Assembly Democratic Leader Peter Barca for appointing me to these important standing committees in the Wisconsin State Assembly. It is an honor to serve in the State Assembly on behalf of my constituents.”
