STATEHOUSE (Dec. 19, 2022) – State Reps. Craig Haggard (R-Mooresville) and Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) recently received appointments to serve on key House standing committees at the Statehouse.
House standing committee appointments are made by the Indiana House Speaker biennially after the November election and are in effect for the duration of members' two-year terms. Haggard, elected to his first term in November, will serve as a member of the House Environmental Affairs Committee, the House Roads and Transportation Committee, and the House Veterans Affairs and Public Safety Committee.
"These committee assignments are a great way to tackle issues facing constituents and ensure the voices in our district are well represented," Haggard said. "I'm especially looking forward to leaning on my military experience and background to help support fellow Hoosier veterans and our public safety officers. Increasing public safety and backing our law enforcement will continue to be among my top priorities."
Mayfield will serve as vice chair of the House Public Policy Committee, and as a member of the House Insurance Committee, and the House Ways and Means Committee. All will begin their work with the start of the 2023 legislative session.
"My experience working in the insurance industry is certainly helpful as we continue our work to lower out-of-control health care costs for Hoosiers," Mayfield said. "With this being a budget-writing year, I also look forward to serving on House Ways and Means again as we craft another balanced budget that funds essential services, maintains prudent reserves and invests in the future."
House lawmakers are scheduled to convene for session at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 9. Hoosiers can visit iga.in.gov to find legislation, view calendars, and watch committee meetings and session.
