Representative Day Appointed Vice Chair Of Judiciary Committee

A release from State Representative Michael Day:

BOSTON – The office of Representative Michael S. Day (D-Stoneham) recently announced his
appointment as the House Vice-Chair of the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on the
Judiciary. Representative Day was nominated by Speaker Robert DeLeo and confirmed
unanimously by his colleagues.

“I am very happy to accept the responsibility as Vice Chair of the Judiciary Committee and I
look forward to working with Chairwoman Cronin and my colleagues on a host of important
issues that will move Massachusetts forward,” said Representative Day. “I sincerely thank
Speaker DeLeo and my colleagues for their faith in my ability to assume this position.”

“Vice Chair Day is an experienced and hard-working leader with a background in the law, and
I’m honored he’ll be serving his district and the people of the Commonwealth this new post,”
said House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo (D-Winthrop). “I’m looking forward to a productive legislative session with the House team of dedicated and hard-working members.”

Representative Day, in his third term, was appointed Vice Chair of the House Committee on
Personnel and Administration in the middle of last session, helping to pass new rules
modernizing the House's policies on sexual harassment. Day has been recognized as a “Super
Lawyer” in the field of business litigation by Boston Magazine annually since 2013.

“The Judiciary Committee receives close to a thousand bills, many of which are some of the
most controversial and sensitive pieces of legislation. Representative Day’s experience as a trial
attorney and his keen understanding of the issues from his two terms on the Judiciary Committee
will lend itself well to his new position,” said Representative Claire Cronin (D-Easton), House
Chair of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary. “I congratulate Representative Day on this
prestigious appointment and I look forward to continuing work with him.”

“I am eager to continue to build on the great work we have done in the Judiciary Committee
under Chairwoman Cronin's leadership,” continued Representative Day. “I am equally honored
by my other committee assignments and anticipate a very busy session ahead.”

Representative Day was also elected unanimously to sit on the influential Joint Committee on
Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, the House Committee on Personnel and
Administration and he returns for a third term on the powerful House Committee on Post Audit
and Oversight.
