Welcome
I am honored to work for and serve the people of the 15th Congressional District of Pennsylvania as your Representative in Congress. I take my responsibility to be your voice and your vote with a commitment to service, leadership, and problem-solving.
In the 119th Congress, I am proud to serve as the Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, a role that allows me to advocate for the hard working men and women who produce the food, fiber, and energy that drives our country and feeds our families
I also have the privilege to serve you as a senior member of the House Education & Workforce Committee, with oversight of education and workforce development programs that affect all Americans, from early learning through retirement.
Time spent in Pennsylvania’s 15th District is a blessing, and meeting the folks that make up our sprawling district helps guide me to be their voice in Washington. Since going to work for you, I have driven more than 600,000 miles, held thousands of meetings, produced significant legislation, and solved some very tough casework issues that have positively impacted the lives of many of our neighbors.
I have led in speaking more days while the House was in session than any of my 434 colleagues, to not just engage in the debate, but to shape it.
My leadership in Congress reflects a respect for the opinions of my colleagues, and a willingness to come to the table. I learned early on, working in health care and serving my community as a volunteer firefighter, school board member, and scoutmaster that it’s better to listen to your neighbors, learn their needs, and work together towards practical solutions.
I believe that through collaboration, hard work, and the right temperament, we will continue to do great things for our communities, Pennsylvania, and this great country.
I look forward to earning the opportunity to continue in this service, and humbly ask for your support and vote to continue to serve you in Congress.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives write and vote on federal laws, including the federal budget. Each represents one district and serves a two-year term. Tax bills must start in the House, only the House can impeach federal officials, and members oversee federal agencies through their committees.
