SAN MATEO – Today, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas announced that Assemblymember Diane Papan has been selected as the Chair of the Assembly Committee on Water, Parks, and Wildlife.

“Management of scarce water resources, flood control and protection, and maintaining the health of our world-renowned natural treasures and ecosystems are ever more urgent needs for all Californians,” said Papan. “As Chair, I look forward to developing and shaping these efforts to meet our challenges now and for future generations.”
