Representative Barrett Rich (R-Somerville) has been named Vice-Chairman of the House Government Operations Committee for the 107th General Assembly. Representative Rich, who was also elected by his colleagues to serve as Majority Whip, was also appointed to the Judiciary Committee. It is rare that a member of House Republican Leadership is also appointed to serve as a committee officer, but House Republican leaders noted they have confidence in Rich’s ability to lead.
“I am very honored to have been named Vice-Chairman of the Government Operations Committee,” said Rep. Rich. “I am committed to limited, efficient government, and this committee will be able to evaluate state government and make recommendations to make it better.”
