Assemblyman Marc W. Butler (R,C,I-Newport) was recently named Ranking Minority Member on the Assembly Committee on Standing Committees, one of the top positions in the Assembly Minority Conference. In this new role, Butler will ensure that committees run smoothly and efficiently to make sure legislation, especially bills affecting local municipalities, make it out of committee and to the Assembly floor for a vote.
“In my new role as Ranking Minority Member on the Committee on Standing Committees, I will be working to ensure that legislation important to middle-class families and our communities doesn’t get stuck in committee,” said Butler. “I will work with our committee rankers to identify important bills to bring to the assembly floor for debate, especially measures that lower taxes, improve the economy and other items to make New York a more affordable and attractive place to live. I thank Minority Leader Brian Kolb for the opportunity to serve in this new role.”
In addition to Butler’s new leadership position, he will continue to serve on the Agriculture, Economic Development, Higher Education, Insurance and Environmental Conservation committees.
