Mecklenburg chairmanships in the House

A couple weeks ago this blog listed the committee chairs that Mecklenburg legislators will have in the state Senate. Here’s a rundown on chairs that Mecklenburgers will have in the House this year (Note that Democrats control the House, and thus they hold most of the chairmanships and vice chairmanships. Veteran Republicans have a few vice-chairmanships but first-termer Republicans usually don’t):
Democrats:
Martha Alexander: Chair of Appropriations and Vice Chair of Mental Health Reform. She’s also on five other committees.
(Jim Black resigned and his seat has not been filled)
Becky Carney: Chair of Transportation, Vice Chair of Final Institutions and Vice Chair of Commerce, Small Business and Entrepreneurship. She’ll be on five other committees.
Pete Cunningham: Vice Chair of Military and Veterans Affairs and Assistant to the Speaker. He’ll also be on five other committees.
Beverly Earle: Chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, Chair of Mental Health Reform and Vice Chair of Health. She’ll also be on four other committees.
Drew Saunders: Chair of Public Utilities and Vice Chair of Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation. He is also on five other committees.
Republicans:
Jim Gulley: Vice Chair of Science and Technology. He will be on five other committees.
Ric Killian: A first-termer, he has no chairmanships, but he will be on six committees.
Ruth Samuelson: Also a first-termer, she has no chairmanships, but she will be on seven committees or subcommittees.
Thom Tillis: Also a first-termer, he has no chairmanships, but he is on five committees.
