Walsh named Assistant Republican Floor Leader
Rep. Maureen Walsh,
R-Walla Walla, today was elected Assistant Republican Floor Leader by
her Republican colleagues in the state House of Representatives.
As Assistant Floor Leader,
Walsh will be responsible for assisting the Floor Leader, Rep. Dan
Newhouse, R-Sunnyside, to develop and implement floor strategy during
Legislative debate. In addition, she will be a member of the leadership
team that sets legislative priorities and creates a plan to adopt
policies supported by the caucus.
“I’m honored to be elected
to our Republican leadership team,” Walsh said. “I'm entering my 16th
working year in the House.
I’ve been here when
the Republicans held a huge majority, when the Democrats and Republicans
shared control, and now when our caucus is in the minority. I look
forward to working with my caucus members to assure that Republicans
have a voice in the process, and also working together with members of
both parties to pass good policy in the best interest of our great
state."
Walsh also serves on the
Appropriations Committee, Early Learning and Children's Services
Committee and Human Services Committee.
