Seitz to Chair House Tourism Committee

A Lakes Area State Representative will be chairing a committee dealing with an important part of the area economy.

156th State Representative Brian Seitz has been named the Chairman of the House Special Committee on Tourism. This is Seitz's first time to chair a committee. 

"I'm thankful that Speaker Dean Plocher has put his trust in me to lead this important committee," Seitz says in a press release. "In the 156th District, and across the state of Missouri, tourism is a vital part of our economy. Tourism is the lifeblood of my hometown of Branson, so I know the impact that decisions made by this committee can have. I have served as a member of the committee for the past two years, but in this new role, I will be able to more actively support Branson, and all of our state's excellent tourist destinations. I'm excited to get to work with the rest of the committee to support and grow tourism in our state this session."

Seitz other assignments for this Legislative Session include serving on the House Crime Prevention and Public Safety, Healthcare Reform and Veterans committees. 

Seitz is beginning his second term in office representing the Branson-Hollister area in Jefferson City.
