Rep. Davis Receives Committee Assignments

HARTFORD – State Representative Christopher Davis (R- Ellington) has been appointed by incoming House Republican Leader Themis Klarides to serve as Ranking Member to the legislature’s Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee for the upcoming 2015-2017 legislative term. The Finance Committee handles all matters relating to state revenue, capital bonding, fees, and taxation. As Ranking Member, Rep. Davis will also be a member of the State Bond Commission.

The committee will be responsible for drafting sections of the upcoming FY2015-2016 budget and overseeing this year’s bond authorizations.

“I look forward to working with majority party leaders of this committee and the Governor to create a budget that does not raise taxes, reduces spending, and is in balance,” Rep. Davis said. “As Ranking Member, I will do my best to ensure that the ideas from both sides of the aisle are heard and considered in negotiations.”

Rep. Davis will also serve on both the legislature’s Insurance and Real Estate and Housing Committees in the 2015-2017 term.

Rep. Christopher Davis represents the 57th General Assembly District covering Ellington and most of East Windsor.
