Today, Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver, R-Grimes, released Senate Republican committee assignments for the 90th<\/sup>\u00a0General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter Iowans have validated our agenda by putting Senate Republicans into the supermajority for the first time in half a century, our caucus is ready to continue to deliver results for this state,\u201d said Whitver. \u201cWe will implement pro-growth solutions to combat the destructive Biden agenda and help Iowans keep more of what they earn, continue to reduce barriers to job creation, and empower parents in their children\u2019s education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
