Rep. Reschke appointed Vice-Chair of Energy & Environment Committee, Member of Revenue Committee

First-term legislator to play key role in policy discussions during 2018 legislative session

Salem, Ore. – Representative E. Werner Reschke (R-Klamath Falls) has been appointed by House leadership to serve on the House Revenue Committee and as Vice-Chair of the House Energy and Environment Committee during the 2018 legislative session. Rep. Reschke will be a new addition to the Revenue Committee, while his appointment as Vice-Chair of the Energy and Environment Committee will allow him to play a leadership role on a committee he currently serves on.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to increase my involvement in shaping policy in the upcoming session,” said Rep. Reschke. “As a member of the Revenue committee, I will be an advocate for tax reforms that benefit Oregon families and will work with my colleagues to oppose unnecessary tax increases. As the Vice-Chair of the Energy & Environment Committee, my top priority will be defending our rural communities from the Cap and Trade bill currently being pushed by Democratic leaders. I look forward to serving on both of these committees, in addition to my other committee assignments, in the February legislative session.”

Rep. Reschke’s additional committee assignment includes the Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee. The 2018 legislative session begins February 5.

House District 56 includes Oregonians in southern Klamath and Lake Counties.
