This week, Rep. Chad Magendanz was chosen by his colleagues to fill the role of assistant floor leader for the House Republican Caucus. The assistant floor leader helps coordinate the debate on the House floor during debates.

“I am honored to have the confidence from my peers to help advance debates on the issues we are dealing with in Olympia, such as living up to our constitutional mandate to fund education in the state budget before any other state government program,” said Magendanz, R-Issaquah. “As a first-term legislator and former Issaquah School Board president, I believe I bring a fresh perspective to how the decisions made in Olympia impact our kids. And, I have experience leading discussions in the workplace and at school board meetings that, while sometimes difficult, were always respectful.” Magendanz is also the assistant ranking member on the House Education Committee and serves on the House Higher Education, Rules and Technology and Economic Development committees.
