The leadership group that will establish the legislative agenda for Arizona’s 57th Legislature has been selected by Speaker-elect Steve Montenegro. According to Montenegro himself, the top choice is Representative Neal Carter, a well-known conservative and practicing lawyer who will serve as Speaker Pro Tempore. “His thoughtful approach and dedication to public service make him a valuable partner in guiding the House,” Montenegro said in a statement received by the State Capitol in Phoenix, praising Carter for his leadership and dedication.
A group of chairpersons and vice-chairs have also been appointed to lead important House Committees. Rep. David Livingston will lead the Appropriations Committee, with Rep. Matt Gress serving as Vice Chair. Meanwhile, Rep. Jeff Weninger will lead the Commerce Committee, with Vice Chair Rep. Michael Way providing support. Rep. Gress will lead the crucial Education Committee, with Rep. James Taylor serving as vice chair. The nominated leaders are prepared to guide their respective committees through the intricacies of state governance, whether it be in the areas of foreign trade, natural resources, or health. Each of the twelve areas that make up Montenegro’s appointment frenzy is essential to the efficient running of state affairs.
Legislative District 29, which encompasses portions of the West Valley, Goodyear, and Surprise, is represented by Speaker-elect Montenegro, who is assembling a team with a range of experience and policy knowledge. His self-assured selection of committee leaders demonstrates his aptitude for identifying legislative talent and his dedication to furthering the Republican agenda in the state. These committees’ power dynamics will influence policy and Arizonans’ day-to-day lives. In order to complete the picture of the state’s legislative leadership, the complete list of committee members is anticipated to be made public shortly.
The time is ticking for Montenegro and his staff to confirm their policy priorities and get ready to implement initiatives that will benefit the people of Arizona, as the next session is scheduled to meet on January 13, 2025. Through Montenegro’s nominations, it is evident that the House will continue to pursue a conservative course of action, preserving the status quo while also seemingly opening the door for new projects.
