A month into his move across the rotunda, Rep. — whoops, we mean Sen. — Roger A. Picard has landed himself several committee appointments. On Friday he was named to the Senate Labor and Corporations committees.

The new senator will no doubt find the appointments familiar since he served on the counterpart committees in the House during his 16 years as a representative.

Picard said that experience will allow him to “div[e] right in” on the Senate side at a busy time of year.

He won a special election in April following the death of longtime Sen. Roger Badeau.
