Agriculture & Water Committee

The Agriculture and Water Committee provides a forum in which legislators can engage in the exchange of information and ideas on relevant policy topics. This includes food supply and security and the management of water resources. It represents state government on key regional and national issues, promotes the importance of agriculture and water concerns, and works toward collaborative solutions to strengthen the West.

For more information on the committee, please contact Jackie Tinetti, Senior Policy Analyst.
