Mark Named Chair of Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee

Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg has appointed Mark the chair of the Senate's Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations.

After his appointment, Mark said in a statement, "With the sharp economic downturn in California and throughout our nation, many are realizing that the social safety net has been yanked out from under the middle and working classes. We need to focus our attention to reenergizing local economies and creating jobs that support workers and their families. I’m proud to be given the duty of chairing this committee so early in my time in the Senate."
