“Surrounded by family and friends, State Representative Robb Kahl was sworn into office as the Representative for the 47th Assembly District during inaugural ceremonies conducted in the Assembly Chamber on Monday, Jan. 7.

“I again want to thank all of the people who worked so hard to help in my election and all of the voters who went to the polls and voted last November,” Kahl said. “Although voters who supported me hold a wide range of views on many issues, they all share the belief that it is time to restore civility to the legislature and see more bipartisanship in the process.”

“Prior to being sworn into office, I started to reach out to members of the Assembly and Senate from both sides of the aisle to discuss how we could work together.” Kahl added. “I am going to continue to seek out areas where we can find common ground and make our state government work better.”

Representative Kahl will serve on five committees for the 2013-2014 legislative session. The committees are:

• Aging and Long-Term Care

• Energy and Utilities

• Insurance

• State Affairs

• Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules

The newly configured 47th Assembly District includes all of McFarland and Monona, part of the cities of Fitchburg and Madison, and all or part of the towns of Cottage Grove, Blooming Grove, Dunn and Madison.

“Residents of the 47th Assembly District are welcome to stop by my office, located in Room 7 West of the Capitol,” Kahl said. “In addition to personal visits, residents are also invited to call me at 608-266-8570, or email me at Rep.Kahl@legis.Wisconsin.gov, with any questions, concerns or comments.””
