Assemblyman V. Manuel Pérez will serve on the following five committees: Government Organization; Health; Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy; Revenue and Taxation; and Rules.
The announcement came Thursday as Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez announced new committee assignments for the 2013 legislative session.
“These committees span issues relevant to the communities I represent and build off of policy expertise I have developed over the last four years in the Legislature. There is much work to be done to keep the economy growing and our communities thriving,” Pérez said, “and I look forward to a productive legislative session.”
In December, the speaker appointed Pérez to serve as Democratic Whip, and as a member of the speaker’s leadership team, Pérez moved from the position of chairman of the Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy to serving as a regular member of that policy committee.
Also in December, Pérez was nominated by his peers to serve as vice chairman of the California Latino Legislative Caucus. As vice chairman, Pérez will serve a one-year term work with state Sen. Ricardo Lara, chairman, to set the direction and priorities of the caucus.
