Today, the House Republican Caucus elected Del. Tim Hugo (Centreville/Clifton) to serve as Republican Caucus Chairman. This position was originally held by former Del. Sam Nixon, who recently resigned from his seat to become Chief Information Officer of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency. Hugo will be serving alongside of House Speaker William J. Howell, Majority Leader Morgan Griffith, and Majority Whip Kirk Cox in his new leadership capacity.
Howell said, in a statement:
“As a recognized leader within the Caucus, Tim understands the duties required of this position and has the right temperament and experiences to be very successful in his important new capacity,” stated Speaker William J. Howell. “During these tough economic times and need to reform state government to make it smarter and simpler, it is imperative that we have an energetic, dedicated and knowledgeable member like Tim joining our leadership team. Like so many, I am looking forward to working with him and our Majority Caucus will be better off because of his leadership.”
Congratulations to Del. Hugo in his new leadership position.
