Fabrizio appointed to deputy whip, committee vice chairman positions
HARRISBURG, Feb. 3 – State Rep. Flo Fabrizio, D-Erie, has been appointed by House Majority Whip Bill DeWeese to serve as a deputy whip in the House Democratic Caucus.
Speaker Keith McCall also named Fabrizio to several House standing committees for the 2009-10 legislative session.
Fabrizio said in addition to his role as deputy whip, he will serve as vice chairman of the Gaming Oversight Committee. He will also serve as a member of the Insurance, Finance and State Government committees.
"The road ahead is a challenging one, but I'm eager to put my nose to the grindstone and, along with my colleagues, work toward solutions vital to improving Pennsylvania," Fabrizio said.
As a deputy whip, Fabrizio will assist the majority whip, who serves as a mediator between Democratic leaders and rank-and-file members. The whip and his deputies also support and assist the Democratic leader in shaping legislative strategy and the House agenda.
Fabrizio also was recently elected vice chairman of the House Democratic Northwest Caucus.
