As the 2024 Legislative session creeps closer, Representative Trey Caldwell and Representative Mike Dobrinski have received new committee leadership assignments from House Speaker Charles McCall. Caldwell has been chosen as the new Vice Chair of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee. Dobrinski will now serve as Chair of the House Utilities Committee.
“Rep. Caldwell and Rep. Dobrinski are important leaders both in our caucus, and in the House of Representatives,” McCall said. “The depth of experience, and attention to detail, that they bring to these new positions will serve our members, and the citizens of our state well.”
Caldwell is the former Chair of the House Utilities Committee.
“I am honored to be chosen by Speaker McCall to serve in this important role,” Caldwell said. “During my time in the House, I have made it a priority to ensure that the Legislature is a good steward of taxpayer dollars. I am thankful that I will get to continue working to increase transparency and accountability in the appropriations process through this new role.”
Dobrinski believes his time as Vice Chair for the Utilities Committee gives him the experience to take the gavel.
“I am thankful that Speaker McCall has trusted me to lead the Utilities Committee,” Dobrinski said. “As our state grows, and new businesses choose to expand into Oklahoma, it is vital that we stay ahead of utility needs that arise both now and in the future. Serving as vice chair has given me a unique perspective into the issues that will come before the committee, and I am excited for the opportunity to work with my fellow members in the upcoming session.”
The Second Regular Session of the 59th Legislature will begin on February 5, 2024.
