STATE SENATOR MARTHA MARX NAMED SENATE CHAIR OF HOUSING COMMITTEE, REAPPOINTED AS VICE CHAIR OF PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE

Fresh off her re-election to a second term in Hartford, State Senator Martha Marx (D-New London) was named Senate Chair of the Housing Committee in the General Assembly, additionally reappointed as the Vice Chair of the Public Health Committee. In her first term, Sen. Marx served as Senate Chair of the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

“I am honored to take the reins from retiring State Senator Marilyn Moore in taking leadership of the Housing Committee,” said Sen. Marx. “Connecticut’s housing crunch is making it difficult for employers to fill jobs and leaves residents paying high costs to rent and own across the state. This is a challenge I’m ready to meet head-on, and I’m ready to work with my colleagues to find solutions that will propel Connecticut forward.”

“Senator Marx is a tenacious, hard-working Senator who always has the best interests of her constituents and the people of Connecticut on her mind,” said Senate President Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven). “I know she’s ready to roll up her sleeves and address the housing needs of our state at this crucial time.”
