Dodd reappointed to lead key committee State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, was reappointed to the chair of the Senate Governmental Organization Committee, which oversees a wide array of important policy areas — from emergency services to alcoholic beverage laws. “It’s a great privilege to continue my leadership role on a committee that is charged with shaping policy in so many vital areas,” Dodd said. “Recent wildfires across the state make oversight of disaster services policy absolutely critical. And of course, California’s dominance in the wine and craft beer industries makes legislation in those areas highly relevant. I thank Sen. Atkins for putting me in a spot where I can do the most for my district and our entire state.”
