House Announces Committees

Last week, the House announced the new House Committee Assignments. With 24 new Representatives after the last election , it was not surprising that there was quite a bit of change over. Looking at Banks and Banking, Rep. Greg Morris was reappointed as Chairman for Banks and Banking. Another committee that we often follow is the House Judiciary.  Rep. Chuck Efstration was appointed Chairman for Judiciary.

As part of our advocacy efforts, we will be reaching out to new Committee members for the committees that we closely follow in the Session’s coming weeks. We encourage you as bankers to introduce yourselves to new Banks and Banking Committee members, especially if you live in their districts.
 
After battling schedules and coordinating members’ preferences for remote versus in person meetings, we successfully arranged many meetings with the Senators who sit on Banking and Financial Institutions and Senate Judiciary Committee members this week. These meetings allowed me to introduce myself with Lori, CBA, and Community Banking to our new members just coming in, and each meeting went great, and it was nice to put faces to names.
