LANSING – House Majority Floor Leader Kathy Angerer (D-Dundee) today was named Chair of the House Committee on Ethics and Elections for the 95th Legislature. Angerer also will serve on the Oversight and Investigations Committee.
"I am honored to be appointed Chair of the Ethics and Elections Committee," Angerer said. "A democracy cannot function without fair, well-run elections. I look forward to ensuring that the state holds our elected officials to the highest possible standard as we work to move Michigan forward."
Angerer's priorities for the 95th Legislature include creating good-paying jobs for Michigan workers and revitalizing our economy. She also will work to strengthen education to guarantee Michigan the workforce needed to compete for jobs in high demand fields such as renewable energy.
