Carrico Appointed to Tobacco Commission

In C.W. "Bill" Carrico's own words:


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.”
