Senator  Kapenga  to  Serve  as  Chair  of  Senate  Committee  on  Public  Benefit  &  
Regulatory  Reform  
 
Madison,  WI  –  On  Thursday,  Senate  Majority  Leader  Scott  Fitzgerald  named  Senator  Chris  
Kapenga  (R-­‐Delafield)  chairman  of  the  newly  formed  Senate  Committee  on  Public  Benefit  
and  Regulatory  Reform,  and  also  appointed  him  to  two  other  standing  committees.  
 
“I  look  forward  to  serving  as  the  chairman  of  the  Senate  Committee  on  Public  Benefit  and  
Regulatory  Reform  and  working  with  my  colleagues  to  find  solutions  to  reform  our  public  
assistance  programs  and  improve  our  regulatory  environment,”  said  Kapenga.  “This  starts  
with  developing  innovative  reforms  that  put  individuals  on  the  path  to  self-­‐sufficiency  and  
give  them  purpose  from  a  paycheck.    One  thing  we  know  is  that  a  working  Wisconsin  works  
best.”    
 
“We  have  made  significant  progress  over  the  past  four  and  a  half  years  to  improve  
Wisconsin’s  regulatory  environment  for  businesses  and  individuals  alike,”  he  continued.  
“However,  there  are  still  plenty  of  improvements  that  are  needed.”    
 
In  addition  to  serving  as  the  chairman  of  the  Senate  Committee  on  Public  Benefit  and  
Regulatory  Reform,  Kapenga  will  also  serve  as  the  vice-­‐chair  of  the  Senate  Committee  on  
Elections  and  Local  Government  and  as  a  member  on  the  Senate  Committee  on  Government  
Operations  and  Consumer  Protection.  
 
Senator  Chris  Kapenga  (R-­‐Delafield)  represents  the  33rd  Senate  District,  which  covers  most  of  
Lake  Country  and  central  Waukesha  County.
