AUSTIN – Today, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick appointed Sen. Donna Campbell to the Legislative Committee on Aging.

“As the average age expectancy increases across our state, we must continue to look for ways to improve the quality of life for our senior citizens,” said Patrick. “I know Sen. Campbell will continue to make our aging population’s needs a top priority.”

The Legislative Committee on Aging studies issues relating to the aging population of Texas, including health care, income, transportation, housing, education, and employment. It makes recommendations on how best to address these issues. Sen. Campbell will join Sen. Eduardo A. “Eddie” Lucio Jr., who is currently serving on the committee.
