Today, State Rep. Steve Johnson of Wayland was appointed by Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth to serve as co-chair for the Republican Policy Action Plan Committee for the 2021-2022 legislative term.

I am committed to ensuring the House Republican Action Plan focuses on helping working class families, holds government accountable, and is fiscally responsible. I look forward to working with my colleagues to develop a plan that puts people over politics.”
