The State Capitol is full and buzzing today as every state official elected in November is inaugurated today. In this special edition of Tidbits we have all the information you need to get this year started: full legislative lists, committee assignments, caucus leadership, and our continuing "Get to Know a Freshman" series.
A formal ball will be the nightcap to the official kickoff of Governor Walker's second term. The Governor participates in his second Inauguration Day ahead of what appears to be another round of significant reforms.
But there is no dancing around it, most are watching to see how and when he wades into the 2016 race for president.
In each edition of Tidbits since Election Day, Hamilton Consulting has featured the "Get to Know a Freshman" Series, bringing you information on new legislators.
In week 4 of the series we bring you updates on the newly re-elected Senator Van Wanggaard, and introduce you to State Representatives Terry Katsma, Tyler Vorpagel, Adam Jarchow, and Cody Horlacher.
Throughout the holiday season, majority and minority leadership in both houses have released the committee assignments for state senators and representatives. Hamilton Consulting has all the information on committee assignments in one place:
