He has since retained the seat for 3 terms, and will serve a 4th term after winning the 2016 election. Holcomb served as Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus. He serves as a member on the Defense & Veterans Affairs, Higher Education, Juvenile Justice, and Public Safety and Homeland Security committees.
