17th District lawmaker will also serve on the Tribal Relations Committee when 2025 session begins
Rep. Kevin Waters will begin the 2025 legislative session as the top Republican member of the House State Government and Tribal Relations Committee.
This committee considers a wide range of issues relating to state government, including state agency structure, rulemaking, procurement standards, performance audits, state information technology, and public employment.
“This is a new committee for me, and I’m excited to serve as the ranking Republican and work on the many important issues facing our state government,” said Waters, R-Stevenson. “I can’t wait to get involved and find positive solutions for everyone in Washington.”
Waters, who represents the 17th District, will serve on three other House committees as he takes office this biennium. He will continue working on the Capital Budget Committee, the Technology, Community Economic Development and Veterans Committee, and the Rules Committee.
“I love the state of Washington, but I recognize we have many serious issues that need to be fixed. I plan to work with everyone on both sides of the aisle to find common ground,” said Waters. “Many individuals and businesses in Washington need help, and as a Legislature, it’s our job to help them. But we have to work together if we want to move our state forward.”
The legislative session begins Jan. 13 and lasts for 105 consecutive days.
