Today, House Speaker Pat Grassley (R-New Hartford) announced committee assignments for the 91st General Assembly.

“Iowa House Republicans will continue to deliver on the promises we make to Iowans,” Grassley said. “Our caucus represents part or all of Iowa’s 99 counties, putting us in the best possible position to listen to Iowans and be their voice in the Statehouse. We’re excited to get back to work in January.”
