“This session offers increased challenges concerning the state’s economy, job growth, opportunities for our graduates and the ability of our seniors to afford to remain here after retirement,” said Hoydick. “I am particularly concerned about our schools and ensuring that they get the funding they need, and state policy does not balance its books at the expense of the future of our children. I look forward to getting to work on all of these critical issues as we begin a new session.”
Hoydick has served in the State House since 2010. She retained her seat in the November election and compiled nearly 62 percent of the vote against Democratic challenger Frederick Streets.
