Carrico Appointed to Tobacco
Commission
Senator also receives appointments to
NCSL & Joint Commission on
Health
Care
Richmond – Sen. Bill Carrico (R-Fries) has
recently received appointments to three important organizations, signaling
continued success in his first year in the Virginia Senate after serving a
decade in the House of Delegates.
Carrico’s most notable appointment is to
the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification & Community Revitalization Commission,
commonly known as the Tobacco Commission. Now in its thirteenth year, the
Commission is tasked with revitalizing the local economy in Virginia’s tobacco
region. Del. Terry Kilgore (R-Scott), the Chairman of the Tobacco Commission,
said in a letter to Carrico that while the Commission has been very successful,
work still remains. “I am honored by my appointment to the Tobacco Commission,”
Carrico said. “This organization has a stellar reputation as a catalyst for
economic development in Southwest Virginia, and I look forward to my role with
the Commission.”
Sen.
Carrico was also appointed recently to two committees with the National
Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). Sen. Walter Stosch, Chairman of the
Senate Rules Committee, appointed Carrico to the NCSL Health and Transportation
committees in a letter dated May 16.
Finally, Sen. Carrico has been appointed
to the General Assembly’s Joint Commission on Health Care. The commission is
currently chaired by Del. Benjamin Cline.
“The
appointments to the Tobacco Commission, NCSL committees and the Joint Commission
on Health Care simply mean that I will have an expanded opportunity to serve my
constituents,” Carrico said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to belong to
organizations who will bring economic development to my region and the
Commonwealth. I am eager to get started.”
