Rep. Vic Mitchell Appointed to the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee

House Republican Leader Mike May, R-Parker, has appointed State Rep. Vic Mitchell, R-Castle Rock, to serve on the influential House Business Affairs and Labor Committee.

"Vic Mitchell will be a responsible and excellent steward of our citizens' hard-earned taxpayer dollars and a watchdog to protect the interests of Coloradans in the business community, both employers and employees," May said. "Vic brings over 20 years of successful business experience and entrepreneurship to the legislature.  I have no doubt that Vic will be a valuable addition to the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee."
"With this committee assignment comes a great deal of responsibility," Representative Mitchell said.

In addition, Rep. Mitchell will be carrying important and good governance legislation this upcoming session including bills that will:

• Provide in-state college tuition rates for all Colorado High School graduates who are legal citizens
