Whitver Announces Committee Assignments

Today, Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver, R-Grimes, released Senate Republican committee assignments for the 90th General Assembly.

“After Iowans have validated our agenda by putting Senate Republicans into the supermajority for the first time in half a century, our caucus is ready to continue to deliver results for this state,” said Whitver. “We will implement pro-growth solutions to combat the destructive Biden agenda and help Iowans keep more of what they earn, continue to reduce barriers to job creation, and empower parents in their children’s education.”
