HARRISBURG, Jan. 7 – State Rep. Leanne Krueger took the oath of office in the state House chamber today for another term representing the 161st Legislative District in Delaware County.
Krueger was first elected in 2015, when she made history as the first woman to represent the 161st Legislative District.
The noon swearing-in ceremony marked the beginning of the 2025-26 session of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Krueger also was re-elected by her peers to serve on the House Democratic Caucus leadership team, where she’ll continue to serve as caucus administrator.
“Serving as a state representative for the residents of Delaware County and the 161st Legislative District is an honor and a privilege,” Krueger said. “I work hard every day to fight for our community in Harrisburg on issues that impact people’s everyday lives and have brought back millions of our tax dollars to invest in economic development, cultural and transportation projects in the district.
“House Democrats are returning in the majority this session, where we’ll continue to work to advance legislation that focuses on the needs of working families, students and seniors while building stronger, safer communities. I look forward to a productive session for the people of Pennsylvania.”
Pa. Supreme Court Chief Justice Debra Todd administered the oath of office for Pennsylvania’s 209th legislative session.
