CHARLESTON – House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, R-Clay, announced Monday that he was promoting current Committee on Government Organization chairman Gary Howell, R-Mineral, to be Speaker Pro Tempore for the House of Delegates for the upcoming 85th Legislature.
“Since he was first elected in 2010, Gary has built a reputation of being a strong voice for conservative values in the Legislature,” Speaker Hanshaw said. “He’s shown that he’s willing to embrace innovative ideas to improve our state and benefit all West Virginians.
“As Government Organization chairman, he’s held agency bureaucrats’ feet to the fire to get them to better serve citizens, reformed the state’s vehicle fleet so that taxpayers can actually know how many vehicles this state owns, and led initiatives to reform our occupational licensing boards to make it easier for people to get jobs in this state,” Speaker Hanshaw said.
