TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— State Representative Tonya Pfaff (D-Terre Haute) has been appointed to three committees that benefit working Hoosier families.
Pfaff, after beginning her fourth legislative session, will be in a position now to work on policies affecting Hoosier workers. Pfaff will be serving as the ranking minority member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, as well as the Committee on Education and the Committee on Ways and Means which creates the state’s budget.
“These committees are at the heart of how we can make life better for working Hoosiers,” Pfaff said. “Whether it’s making sure our schools have the resources they need, ensuring our state budget reflects the priorities of hardworking families, or supporting the farmers and rural communities that drive Indiana’s economy, these appointments allow me to focus on what matters most: helping working Hoosiers get ahead.”
Pfaff stated that working on the Committee on Education is especially important to her due to her 32 years of experience as a public school teacher. She also said that making sure the state’s budget supports core needs for working families such as fixing roads, investing in schools, supporting local businesses, and building a better foundation for the future. Pfaff also said that she was excited to support farmers, as the backbone of the state’s economy. The first legislative session of 2025 is scheduled for January 8th.
