AUGUSTA — Sen. Cameron Reny, D-Bristol, has been appointed by Senate President Mattie Daughtry, D-Brunswick, to serve on the Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs and on the Joint Standing Committee on Marine Resources for the 132nd Maine State Legislature.
The Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee is responsible for creating the State budget and allocating funding to the Legislature’s priorities.
“I am excited to serve on such an important committee to ensure that resources are allocated responsibly,” said Sen. Reny. “This is a great opportunity to support the priorities the people of Senate District 13 care about through smart investments in housing, climate resiliency, affordable health care, and more. I am committed to working hard for a sustainable future and to building strong communities across Maine.”
Sen. Reny will also serve on the Marine Resources Committee, a committee that oversees fisheries, aquaculture and marine research.
“I am honored to once again serve on the Marine Resources Committee,” said Sen. Reny. “I look forward to working with all my fellow committee members to build on the work we accomplished in my first term, including protecting the heritage industries that define our way of life and supporting our working waterfronts.”
Lawmakers are assigned to committees by the presiding officers based on their interests, experience and professional background. Joint standing committees are composed of three senators and ten representatives.
Sen. Reny is serving her second term in the Maine Senate. In the 131st Maine State Legislature, she was the Senate chair of the Marine Resources Committee and a member of the Health Coverage, Insurance, and Financial Services Committee.
Sen. Reny represents Maine Senate District 13, which includes most of Lincoln County and the towns of Washington and Windsor. The Legislature is set to reconvene on Jan. 8, 2025.
