Rep Marquez Named Vice Chair of County Affairs

State Representative Marissa Marquez was appointed the Vice Chair of the County Affairs Committee. This is a natural fit for Marquez who has introduced county bills previously during her freshmen term.

Marquez was also appointed to the House Committees on Local and Consent Calendars, Corrections, and Administrations.

In a statement released to the media, Marquez said, “I am honored to serve on these important committees, and I am ready to get to work.

"I know that we face great challenges this year, but it is time to tackle them on behalf of El Paso."

Rep. Márquez has been promoted to Vice-Chair of the County Affairs Committee which controls the organization, creation, and governments of the counties. The County Affairs Committee focuses on county governance and regulation, and serves as a conduit between state and local government.

"I am excited to have Rep. Márquez back on the committee as Vice-Chair," added County Affairs Chairman Garnet Coleman. "She was one of the most effective advocates for our local governments last session, and her expertise will be invaluable."
