Sen. Springer named to new committees

State Sen. Drew Springer received six new committee assignments for the 88th Legislative Session last week. Sen. Springer said he was “honored” that Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick chose him for the new assignments, and named him to vice chairman of two of them. “On these committees, I will be working with my fellow Senators to advance legislation that will drive the Texas Miracle, support our schools while empowering parents, protect resources, limit overreaching regulations, and preserve our Texas values,” Sen. Springer said. The Olney Republican now serves on the following Texas Senate committees: Administration, Vice Chairman; Local Government, Vice Chairman; Education, member; Higher Education, member; Nominations, member; Water, Ag & Rural Affairs, member; Sunset, member; Redistricting, member.
