Senate leadership has announced committee assignments for the upcoming legislative session, and I have been selected to be the chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Revenue.

The agriculture industry, which is a significant driver of our state's economy, employs nearly 12 percent of our workers and generates an annual economic impact of more than $100 billion. I am eager to advance bills that help our farmers strengthen the agriculture sector while also protecting our natural resources and the health of our residents.

As for the revenue aspect of the committee, I expect to move forward legislation that cuts taxes for all Wisconsinites and makes our state more competitive for future opportunities.

During the 2025-26 legislative session, I will also serve as vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Health. In addition, I will be the co-chair of the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions and a member of the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Sporting Heritage and the Joint Committee on Information Policy and Technology.

Earlier this month, I was also named the Senate vice-chair of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee.
