Incoming House Democratic Leader Tom Burroughs, D-Kansas City, today announced appointments to standing committees for the 2015-2016 legislative term.
“We have a seasoned mix of legislative experience and professional expertise in the House Democratic Caucus,” said Burroughs. “Kansans need strong voices in the Capitol fighting for fiscal responsibility, fair taxes and strong public schools as we tackle the tremendous challenges that are coming in 2015.
