Rausch is the Chair of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture and Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

Senator Rausch’s legislative priorities include voting rights, universal access to quality and affordable health care, reproductive health and justice, improving public transportation, supporting families, education, information accessibility and data privacy, and transparent and accountable government.
