“Representative Slaby will be an exceptional addition to our caucus and to the House of Representatives,” Speaker Batchelder said. “Her experience in the private and public sector, as well as in education and business ownership, make her a well-rounded and knowledgeable individual who, I believe, will be a very valuable member of this fine institution.”

“I’m honored that I have been selected to replace my husband,” said Representative Slaby. “It feels good to be back in the House. I know we have many challenges ahead.”
