From the Office of Joe Sempolinski,
New York State Assemblyman-Elect Joe Sempolinski is pleased to announce that he has been appointed to several important Assembly committees for the coming term.
Sempolinski has been named the Ranking Republican Member of the Mental Health Committee.
“We can do so much more as a state and as a society on mental health” Sempolinski stated. “I am humbled to be named the lead Republican Assembly member working on issues in this area. I look forward to working with people across the state to improve the lives of those dealing with mental health issues.”
In addition, Sempolinski was selected to be a member of following five committees:
Education
Environmental Conservation
Higher Education
Labor
People with Disabilities
“These committees are a great fit for the 148th District and for my background” Sempolinski explained. “I am the proud father of a daughter with Down Syndrome, so the People with Disabilities Committee makes sense based on my personal background. I served on the US House Education and Labor Committee during my time in Congress and am a former parochial school staff member, so the Education and Labor Committees make sense based on my professional background. The 148th District has five colleges and is a rural area where citizens often interact with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, so the Higher Education and Environmental Conservation committees make sense based on the district I will represent.”
Assemblyman-Elect Sempolinski will be sworn into office on January 7th in Albany.
The 148th Assembly District consists of all of Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties and a portion of Steuben County.
