The group is charged with tracking issues related to the state budget, reviewing pending budget bills, and advising the House Republican Caucus, particularly Leader McLane, on these issues.
“I am honored by the opportunity to use my experience in regards to the state budget to help my fellow caucus members,” said Smith. “These issues can be very complex and I believe the knowledge I bring to them will be helpful.”
Smith is serving his seventh term as a member of the Oregon House of Representatives. He is the longest-serving member on the Joint Committee on Ways and Means. He currently serves as chair of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on General Government.
