For those of you who have been around for a while this list of State Affairs Committee will be familiar. This is the Senate Committee that a Helmet BIll will most likely be sent to. [ Current Members: ]
Florence Shapiro Chair
Todd Staples V-Chair
Ken Armbrister
Troy Fraser
Robert Duncan
Chris Harris
Rodney Ellis
Frank Madla
Jane Nelson.
Should the makeup remain the same, and there are few changes each session, we have four of these members we have always been able to count on for support. Three have generally opposed our issues therefore that would leave Senators Troy Fraser and Jane Nelson as the swing votes. One of these would have to support our Bill to bring it out of committee, assuming we can get Senator Shapiro to bring the Bill to a vote.
The House Transportation Committee where the BIll would be sent would again be a tough fight if Rep. Mike Krussee remains Chair. Other members currently are:
Larry Phillips V-Chair
Al Edwards
Fred Hill
Peggy Hamric
Timoteo Garza
Linda Harper-Brown
Pete Laney
Ken Mercer
Again four of these nine Reps have been supportive over the years. Only two have for some part been thorns in our side. Representative Mercer lost his reelection bid so that seat would be an unknown. This would leave us with Reps. Fred Hill, Linda Harper-Brown and the replacement for Representative Mercer. Our big challenge will be getting the Bill through Rep. Krussee to the table for a vote.
We hope to have a list of Sponsors for all our Bills and final plans in place for Legislative Days within the next two weeks. Stay posted to the websites and pass along all information to your friends.
Can any of our Republican Warriors get me a list of New Republican State Reps. Only those who will be serving their first session this time. This information is very important as we make plans for moving our Bills.
