Representative Kreuser has appointed Representative Leon Young to the Assembly Committee on Tourism. Our initial committee assignments listed Representative Riley as a member of Tourism. Representative Riley has been removed and Representative Young will replace him. Let me know if there are any questions or concerns regarding this change. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jim Kreuser
Assembly Democratic Leader
