HARRISBURG, Jan. 7 – Rep. Brandon Markosek, D-Allegheny, announced today that he has been appointed to serve as majority chair for the House Housing and Community Development Committee for the 2025-26 legislative session.

I’m excited to collaborate with my colleagues to champion policies that address these priorities and make a real difference for Pennsylvanians.”
