Kifowit Appointed Vice Chair of Appropriations Committee

Legislator Pledges to Tackle State Spending With New Committee Assignments

AURORA, Ill. – State Representative Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, will continue to be a strong advocate for taxpayers with her appointment as Vice Chair of the House General Services Appropriations committee.

“I will work with legislators, organizations, and department heads to ensure our state’s spending is efficient and cost effective,” Kifowit said. “Working families deserve to know their tax dollars are being spent wisely.”

Kifowit was appointed as the Vice Chair of the House General Services Appropriations committee. During her first term, she worked in this committee to cut spending from the state budget and allow funds to be used to pay down state debt, invest in education, and ensure veterans’ programs continued. In her new role as Vice Chair, Kifowit will continue to continue pushing for fiscal responsibility in the state budget. She will also serve on the newly-created Business Growth committee, which will be focused on improving Illinois’ small business climate. Kifowit is committed to a responsible state budget which will enable businesses to create jobs and expand operations in Illinois. She will be serving on the House Financial Institutions, Healthcare Licensing, and Intermodal Transportation committees.

“Improving Illinois’ fiscal condition is necessary to improve the confidence small businesses have in our state,” Kifowit said. “I am looking forward to working with my colleagues over the coming months to find bipartisan solutions to the important issues we face.”
