“I am thrilled to be able to represent the values of Western New York so strongly in these two very important committees. I would like constituents to know that I will continue to stand up for our priorities,” said Norris. “Now, having the opportunity to confer with the Assembly Speaker, as well as other top members of the chamber on the Rules Committee, I will be making the most of this opportunity to continue my record of delivering and standing up for our community.”

Norris will continue to serve as a member of the Assembly Committees on Judiciary, Tourism, and Transportation. He said, “These committees oversee initiatives that are important to our community. For example, I was so proud to deliver on the new Discover Niagara Shuttle expansion into Lockport.”
