121st District State Rep Don Mayhew will chair funding committee for State public safety, corrections, transportation, and revenue department

121st District State Representative Don Mayhew of Crocker will play a key role in determining funding levels for the state departments overseeing public safety, corrections, transportation, and revenue. Mayhew was selected by House Speaker Rob Vescovo to serve as the chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee for the four departments. Mayhew is well-versed in the appropriations process and has served as a member of the House Budget Committee since first taking office in 2019. He most recently served as vice-chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee for general administration. Vescovo said he asked Mayhew to take on the chairman duties for the appropriations subcommittee for public safety, corrections, transportation, and revenue because of Mayhew’s proven track record as a fiscal conservative and a steward of taxpayer dollars. Speaker Vescovo said Mayhew’s extensive experience with the budget process makes him the ideal person to lead the committee. Mayhew says, “I want to thank Speaker Vescovo for having the confidence in me to play such a key role in our budget process. I am excited to work with the members of my committee to put together a funding plan that adheres to my fiscally conservative principles and makes the best possible use of our tax dollars.”
