Democrats release committee assignments for 2017 session

Iowa Senate News Release
For immediate release: December 9, 2016

(Des Moines) Senate Democratic Leader Rob Hogg has released the committee assignments for the Democratic members of the Iowa Senate for the 2017 session of the Iowa Legislature.

“A lot of groundwork is done during committee meetings, where there are opportunities for open discussion and bipartisan work,” Hogg said. “I’m disappointed Senate Republicans have eliminated the Economic Growth Committee, but we will look for ways to stand up for good jobs, good benefits and strong community schools across the state.”

The two-year 87th General Assembly will begin on Monday, January 9, 2017.
