Starr Named To NCSL Post

Republican state senator Bruce Starr is on track to become the president of a national legislative organization. Starr, who recently ruled out a run for Congress, was elected vice president of the National Conference of State Legislators. The NCSL is a non-partisan bipartisan organization with a wealth of knowledge and statistics, and is turned to frequently by legislators and their staff (and--in the interest of full disclosure, journalists too) for information and background about policy issues. Starr assumed the post at the organization's recent conference in Texas. The third-term senator from Hillsboro will ascend to the presidency of NCSL in two years.
