State Rep. Henry Genga has been appointed by House Speaker Brendan Sharkey to serve in the key position of Deputy Majority Whip in the House of Representatives.
In addition, Rep. Genga was named vice-chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee and also chosen to serve as a member of the legislature’s Public Health, Education, and Program Review and Investigations committees.
