HOUSE REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCE COMMITTEE VICE CHAIRS

St. Paul Speaker-designate Kurt Daudt (R-Crown) and Majority Leader-elect Joyce Peppin
(R-Rogers) announced new committee vice chairs for the 2015 and 2016 legislative
sessions Tuesday.
"I'm excited about the depth of talent and experience our new chairs and vice chairs bring
to the table as we enact policies for Minnesotans that will grow good-paying jobs, protect
seniors' quality of life, give our students a world-class education, and prioritize roads and
bridges," said Daudt.
"I'm thankful that our new vice chairs have agreed to step forward to offer their
perspective and background as we work beside Minnesotans to prioritize the needs of our
state. House Republicans understand all of Minnesota matters not just one part of the
state or another and we are proud to bring those priorities forward over the next two
years, said Majority Leader-elect Peppin.
