Speaker Vos Announces Special Assembly Committee on Trade and Supply Chain
Earlier this week, Speaker Robin Vos announced the creation of the Special Assembly Committee on Trade and Supply Chain. The committee will focus on the relationship between the labor shortage and supply chain interruptions, the impacts and barriers this creates for businesses and consumers. The committee will also examine the disruptions in production and distribution of products over the last two years, the lack of workers in the labor market, and Wisconsin’s role in recovering.
“Across the state and country, demand is high, quantity is low, prices are increasing, and workers are scarce. The creation of this committee is another step Assembly Republicans are taking to support the Wisconsin businesses, families, and individuals who are impacted by these economic factors. I have full confidence Representative Brooks and the members of the committee will work hard to address these issues,” stated Speaker Vos.
Representative Rob Brooks (R-Saukville) will Chair the new committee, joined by Vice-Chair Representative Alex Dallman (R-Green Lake), and Representatives Nancy VanderMeer (R-Tomah), Dave Armstrong (R-Rice Lake), John Spiros (R-Marshfield), Warren Petryk (R-Town of Washington), and Michael Schraa (R-Oshkosh).
