|
 STATE HOUSE – Rep. Terri Cortvriend has been appointed to the House Finance Committee, House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi has announced.
One of the busiest House committees, the Finance Committee considers all matters related to state spending and is responsible for honing the state budget each year.
“I am very excited to join the House Finance Committee, which spends a great deal of the session crafting the state budget. During that effort, many Rhode Islanders will come before us and explain the effects that state funding has on themselves or the people for whom they are advocating, and I look forward to listening and being able to ask them questions. The budget is really an expression of our values as a state, and I am so grateful to be part of the effort to shape it,” said Representative Cortvriend (D-Dist. 72, Portsmouth, Middletown).
Representative Cortvriend will also continue to serve as a member of the House Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and as a member of the Small Business Committee.
First elected in 2018, Representative Cortvriend has been a leader in efforts to mitigate climate change and pollution, address public shoreline access, support education and prevent substance abuse, particularly among youth. She is the owner of Ocean Link, Inc., a marine plumbing firm that she founded in 1989.
