Newly Elected Assemblyman Salka

Named To Food, Farm Committee

Assemblyman-elect John Salka, R-121, today announced he has been appointed the ranking minority member on the Food, Farm & Nutrition Committee of the state Assembly.

Salka, the Republican elected Nov. 6 to represent Otsego County,  will also serve on the Aging, Banks, Higher Education and Social Services committees.

He succeeds Democrat Bill Magee of Nelson, who represented Otsego since 1991.

Agriculture “is an industry that has such a huge impact on many of our daily lives here and I plan to help that industry thrive during my time in the Assembly,” Salka said. “I am eager for the 2019 Legislative Session to start so I can fight for policies that will make life better for my constituents.”
