Tim Taylor of Bunceton is the new representative of the 48th District. The Republican won his election in November and takes over for Dave Muntzel, who was term limited. Taylor’s goal while serving as representative is to keep state government in check.

While committee assignments haven’t been distributed yet, Taylor has a couple he hopes to get on.

Taylor added he wouldn’t mind being on the Veterans Committee after serving in the U.S. Air Force, or being part of the Downsizing State Government committee.
