Patrick’s committee chair appointments for the legislative session do not include any members of the minority party.Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has announced Texas Senate committee appointments for the 89th Legislature, upholding his promise to not appoint Democrats to chair committees.
“No Democrat Chairs” is a legislative priority of the Texas GOP, which maintains that the majority party should control each chamber’s committees.
“I’m proud to serve as President of the Texas Senate and work with such talented and hard-working leaders, each in their own right,” stated Patrick. “Throughout the interim, your senators have worked tirelessly to study the issues and prepare for this legislative session. With these committee appointments, the Texas Senate is hitting the ground running, ready to do the work the voters sent us to do.”
