Representative Steven Howitt Receives Committee Assignments for 2023-2024 Legislative Session

Re-appointed Ranking Minority Member on Transportation Committee

Boston – State Representative Steven Howitt (R-Seekonk) has been re-appointed by House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones,

Jr. (R-North Reading) to the position of Ranking Minority Member on the Joint Committee on Transportation for the 2023-2024 legislative session.

A member of the Transportation Committee since he first entered the House of Representatives in 2011, Representative Howitt has been the committee’s Ranking Minority Member since the 2019-2020 legislative session. He was also re-appointed to the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection & Professional Licensure, a committee he has also served on since 2011 and which oversees all matters related to consumer credit and consumer protection, as well as the issuance of licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages.

In addition to returning to his two longtime committees, Representative Howitt has also been named to three other committees. He will now serve as the Assistant Ranking Minority Member of the House Ethics Committee, a member of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities & Energy, and a member of the House Steering, Policy & Scheduling Committee, which helps to identify and prioritize pending bills for consideration by the House of Representatives.

Steven has done a tremendous job representing his constituents and the residents of the Commonwealth, particularly on con- sumer protection issues and transportation-related matters,” said Representative Jones. “He led a successful fight to crack down on catalytic converter thefts in Massachusetts, and will continue to play an important role in the Transportation Committee’s ongoing efforts to create a safer and more reliable MBTA for commuters.”

Representative Howitt stated, “I would like to thank Leader Jones for my committee assignments for the 193rd Massachusetts General Court. I appreciate his support and confidence in me to represent our caucus on these important committees.”

A graduate of Boston University’s School of Management, Representative Howitt is a business owner and third-generation Seekonk resident with over 30 years of public service to the community and to the Commonwealth. Prior to entering the Legislature, he was elected and served two terms on the Seekonk Planning Board and one term on the Seekonk Board of Selectmen. He previously served as an appointed member of both the Seekonk Cable and Recycling Committees and continues to do volunteer work with numerous civic organizations.

Representative Howitt has been happily married to Pam Tesler Howitt, a philanthropy executive, since 1990. He represents the 4th Bristol District, which includes the towns of Rehoboth and Seekonk, as well as Precincts 1 and 2 in Norton and Precincts 4 and 5 in Swansea.
