Tuesday, December 20, 2016

ST. PAUL, MN— On Tuesday, Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, named Rep. Tony Albright, R-Prior Lake, as Vice-Chair of the Health and Human Services Finance Committee. The committee will be chaired by Rep. Matt Dean, R-Dellwood.

Albright, who was first elected in 2012, will be sworn in for his third term in January when the 2017 Legislative Session officially begins. Last session, Albright served on the Health and Human Services Reform Committee.

"Reforming our current health care system to make costs more affordable to middle class Minnesotans is one of our biggest tasks this session,” said Albright. “As vice-chair, I look forward to helping Minnesota move forward on this important issue, and welcome any input from throughout the state."

Along with his appointment to the Health and Human Services Finance Committee, Albright will also serve on the Health and Human Services Reform, Higher Education and Career Readiness Policy and Finance, and Rules and Legislative Administration Committees, as well as the Subcommittee on Child Care Access and Affordability.
