From the Office of State Senator Ryan C. Fattman: State Senator Ryan Fattman (R-Webster) announced the Senate Standing Committee and five Joint Standing Committees of the Senate he will be joining as Assistant Minority Whip.

“I am honored to be appointed to these committees and am looking forward to another productive year on Beacon Hill” said Senator Fattman. “I hope that these committees continue to be a strong resource in the Senate, and positively contribute to the legislative conversations that affect the Commonwealth.”

Joint Standing Committees include membership from both the House and the Senate and are essential to the effective operation of the Commonwealth.

There are currently 11 Senate Standing Committees and 27 Joint Standing Committees in the Massachusetts Legislature.

The six committees Senator Fattman will be a part of include:

• Senate Committee on Post Audit and Oversight
