Sam Crump

Arizona House Speaker-elect Kirk Adams has made his selections for who will chair the House's standing committees in the next session of the legislature.

Daniel's News & Views, the blog run by state Representative-elect Daniel Patterson (D-Tucson), had the announcement posted Wednesday.

According to Patterson, the list is:

Appropriations – John Kavanagh
Commerce – Michele Reagan
Education – Rich Crandall
Environment – Ray Barnes
Banking & Insurance – Nancy McLain
Government – Sam Crump

LD6
Currently held by two Republicans, Doug Clark, who is moving on and Sam Crump, who is seeking another term. Crump is popular in the district and should easily be the top vote getter in LD6.
