Speaker announces House committee leadership

By TODD STACY, Alabama Daily News

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – House Speaker Mac McCutcheon (R – Monrovia) on Monday announced the leadership of the House of Representatives’ 25 standing committees for the new term of the Alabama Legislature.

“Each of these members possess specific talents, experiences, knowledge, and leadership skills, and we worked hard to match those factors with the committees they fit best,” McCutcheon said.  “The men and women we name today have my full faith and confidence, and I know they will use their chairman positions to help make our already great state even better.”

McCutcheon was recently selected as the speaker-designate of the 77-member House Republican Caucus and is expected to be officially reelected but the full 105-member body during the upcoming organizational session in January. McCutcheon said announcing chairmanship announcements ahead of the organizational session will allow House staff more time to prepare for legislative work.

Full committee rosters will be announced during the 2019 organizational session, which is scheduled to convene on January 8.
