Today, Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny, released the committee assignments for Senate Republicans for the 89th<\/sup> General Assembly. Senator Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Ottumwa, was elected to US Congress to represent Iowa\u2019s Second Congressional District and Senator Zach Nunn, R-Altoona, will remain on military duty through the 2021 legislative session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenate Republicans have focused on pro-growth and pro-jobs legislation since we regained the majority in 2016,\u201d said Whitver. \u201cThose goals remain for another session and these committees will develop the policies to implement those goals. I\u2019m very proud of our caucus and I am eager to work with them again this session.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
