The Barnstable Patriot BOSTON - Freshman state Rep. Kip Diggs (D-Barnstable) has been named to six key legislative committees in the House of Representatives including the Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development and the Committee on Health Care Financing. Rounding out Diggs' assignments are the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, Housing, Education, and the Special Committee on Redistricting and Reapportionment. “I am humbled and even more inspired to do the hard work that my district sent me to do,” said Diggs after the assignments were officially posted by House leadership. “Cape Cod is a destination for millions of people, but these assignments acknowledge the needs my communities have 12 months of the year, and I am more than ready to fight for my district.”
