Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush offered his congratulations today to Senator Patty Ritchie on her chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture Committee. Assemblyman Blankenbush was named Ranking Minority member of the Assembly Agriculture Committee last week.

“I am thrilled Senator Ritchie was named Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee. With this appointment, the North Country’s agriculture industry will have multiple strong voices in Albany fighting for its unique concerns,” said Assemblyman Blankenbush. “I look forward to working with the North Country team, Senator Ritchie and newly-appointed Ag and Markets Commissioner, Darrel Aubertine, on these important issues.”
