He serves as Ranking Member of the Environment Committee and Legislative Management Committee. He is also a member on the Education, Finance, and Judiciary Committees.
250 years ago, patriots from towns right here in the 30th District answered the call for independence during the American Revolution. This week, as America turns 250, I sat down with constituents at the historic and delicious Fife 'n Drum Restaurant & Inn in Kent to talk about that legacy and what it means for our communities today.
My colleagues and I left a meeting in Kent this morning and ran into a few Appalachian Trail-through hikers. The hikers, from Wisconsin and Rochester, started in Georgia in March. We bought them breakfast to wish them luck on their way to Maine.
