Senate committee assignments announced for 148th General Assembly
Assignments for the 23 Senate committees were announced Friday by President Pro Tem Patti Blevins, D-Elsmere.
The single chairmanship change is on the Bond Bill Committee, which will now be headed by Sen. David Sokola, D-Newark, who has served on the committee since 2010. Sen. Robert Venables had chaired the committee previously.
“Sen. Sokola is experienced on the committee and has the leadership qualities necessary to chair this key committee that oversees the state's Capital spending – including spending for our schools, roads, and state facilities,” Blevins said.
Sen. Sokola said he looked forward to chairing the committee.
“We have a public trust to spend tax dollars in ways that move Delaware forward. There are many areas of need, and it is our job to prioritize and evaluate potential Capital expenditures thoroughly and thoughtfully,” Sokola said.
A full list of the committee assignments is in a second attachment to this email.
