Rep. Mark Harmsworth appointed assistant ranking member to the House Transportation Committee
Rep. Mark Harmsworth, R-Mill Creek, has been appointed as the assistant ranking member to the House Transportation Committee by House Speaker Frank Chopp.
Harmsworth was a vocal proponent of transportation reform during the 2015 legislative session. “We must demand more accountability from the state Department of Transportation before sending them more money,” says Harmsworth. “I look forward to working on behalf of my district and our state as the assistant ranking member of the House Transportation Committee, creating solutions that benefit our families, communities, and economy.”
The 25-member committee considers the transportation budget, revenue sources for transportation funding, and issues relating to transportation policy and agencies, including the Washington State Department of Transportation and the Washington State Patrol.
In addition to serving on the House Transportation Committee, Harmsworth is a member of the Technology and Economic Development, and Rules committees. The 60-day session begins Jan. 11, 2016.
