Connecticut House Speaker Matthew Ritter has announced I will serve as a Deputy Speaker beginning in 2025. I previously served as the House Chair of the Environment Committee for three years and will be on hand to guide the committee's leadership transition.
"Joe Gresko is a proven leader who has given so much to the state as our chair of the Environment Committee," said Speaker Ritter. "As a Deputy Speaker, Joe will help develop and steward this year's House Democrats' environmental bill, which we expect to be HB 5004."
When the Speaker of the House is absent from the chamber, the Deputy Speaker presides over the House of Representatives.
I am grateful to Speaker Ritter and Majority Leader Jason Rojas for entrusting me with this new responsibility.
