State Rep. Cory Criswell (R-Middletown) was recently appointed to serve as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
With the appointment, Criswell will no longer serve on the House Environmental Affairs Committee but will continue as a member of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee and the House Public Policy Committee. This change was announced by House Speaker Todd Huston on Jan. 8, the first day of session.
Criswell said the House Ways and Means Committee holds a pivotal role in shaping the state’s budget. The committee's work directly impacts all aspects of Indiana’s fiscal policies and priorities.
“I am honored that Speaker Huston has appointed me to such an important committee," Criswell said. "There is no better place for me to truly understand where all of the state’s revenues are distributed. I am eager to contribute to the critical work of crafting a responsible budget that protects Hoosier taxpayers while funding critical infrastructure and services.”
Criswell will also continue to serve in a House Republican Caucus leadership role as an Assistant Majority Whip.
