House Speaker Brian
C. Bosma, R-Indianapolis, announced that Rep. Ed Soliday, R-Valparaiso, will
be serving in a leadership capacity for the Indiana House Republican Caucus
as an Assistant Majority Floor Leader.
Soliday has served
as the Assistant Majority Whip since the 2010 legislative session. Chairmen
and caucus leaders are selected biennially by the majority party after each
election year.
Speaker Bosma also
appointed Soliday to continue serving as Committee Chairman of the Standing
Committee on Roads and Transportation. Standing committees are an integral
part of the legislative process. Committees with specific expertise receive
public testimony and work out the details of proposed legislation before it
is heard on the House floor.
“It is an honor to
continue to serve in a leadership role for the Speaker,” Soliday said. “I
look forward to continuing to build upon our state’s strong infrastructure
which helps Hoosiers maintain economic growth. We must continue to live up
to our state’s namesake, the crossroads of America, and I will do all I can
to make sure that happens.”
In his position as
an Assistant Majority Floor Leader, Rep. Soliday will assist Rep. McMillin,
R-Brookville, Majority Floor Leader.
