STATE HOUSE – Rep. Matthew S. Dawson has been appointed as the second vice chair of the House Judiciary Committee by Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi (D-Dist. 23, Warwick).
“The Judiciary Committee is one of the most important committees at the State House because it deals with serious legal issues that affect Rhode Islanders every single day. Whether we are talking about protecting residents from crime, unfair business practices, or outdated laws that negatively impact communities, this committee and its decisions help and support every Rhode Island resident. It’s an honor to be appointed to this position and I thank Speaker Shekarchi and my colleagues in the House for having faith in me to help lead this committee that touches so many lives,” said Representative Dawson (D-Dist. 65, East Providence).
First elected in November 2022, Representative Dawson is also a member of the House Municipal Government and Housing Committee, the State Government and Elections Committee and the Special Legislation Committee. He is a practicing attorney and is currently a member of the RI Bar Association, the RI Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, and the RI Hospitality Association.
