State Representatives Tim O'Brien and Cindy Ledbetter have been appointed to serve on key House standing committees at the Statehouse. These appointments are made biennially by the Indiana House Speaker following the November elections and remain effective for two years.

Tim O'Brien, representing Evansville, will chair the House Ways and Means K-12 Subcommittee. He is also set to participate in the House Government and Regulatory Reform Committee and the House Veterans Affairs and Public Safety Committee. O'Brien commented on his new role, stating, "K-12 education makes up a large portion of our budget every biennium. As we head into a budget session, we will take a dive deep into school funding and explore the best ways to financially support each child's education responsibly."

She remarked on her committee responsibilities: "As a nurse practitioner, I look forward to using my experience in the health care industry to help alleviate some of its challenges, such as affordability and access to care. I look forward to representing our district in these committees at the Statehouse this session."
