Eliana Pintor Marin to preside over New Jersey Assembly Budget Committee

Assembly Speaker-Elect Craig J. Coughlin has tapped Assemblywoman Eliana Pintor Marin to helm the Assembly Budget Committee when the 218th Legislature convenes in January.

Pintor Marin, 37, will become only the second woman to serve in this capacity since Assemblywoman Barbara Kalik chaired what was then known as the Assembly Revenue, Finance and Appropriations Committee in 1985.
