In his first term representing New York’s 41st District, Gipson will serve on the Banking, Consumer Protection, Cultural Affairs and Tourism, Veterans, and Racing and Wagering and will be the ranking Democratic member on the Agriculture and Local Government Committees.

“I am proud to be selected to serve on these important committees. The people of my district will be well represented by my participation. I am especially pleased to sit on the Agriculture, Banking, Tourism, and Veterans Committees, since these issues are important to the Hudson Valley,” Gipson said.

“In just his first few days in office, Sen. Gipson has shown the leadership and the drive deserving of these important committee assignments. I am confident that he will bring the voices of the people in his district to Albany,” said Democratic Conference Leader Sen. Stewart-Cousins.

Gipson stressed that his committee assignments will give him an opportunity to focus on key issues for both Dutchess and Putnam counties.
