HARRISBURG, Nov. 12 – State Rep. Rob Matzie was elected today by his House legislative colleagues to serve as Majority Caucus Chair for the 2024-25 legislative session.
“I’m honored and excited to lead the House Majority Caucus forward,” Matzie said. “Our caucus members may represent different regions of the state with diverse needs and priorities, but every single member shares the same overriding goal: to improve the lives of the people we serve.
“We do that best when we come together and collaborate to craft a legislative agenda that responds to the real-world needs of the people we serve. Our caucus has always been driven by a special energy that comes from a desire to bring positive, practical change.
“I intend to keep that energy going as we work to promote the priorities that matter to Pennsylvanians – better jobs, quality public schools, more affordable housing, health care and child care – and more of the opportunities that make life promising for people.”
The Caucus Chair is part of the House of Representatives leadership team and is responsible for preparing other members for legislation being considered in the House, running caucus meetings, and ensuring legislators can effectively represent their districts.
Matzie was elected to the Pennsylvania House in 2008, and this term has served as majority chair of the House Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee. Matzie is also a member of the House Policy Committee and co-chair of the Nuclear Energy Caucus and the Multiple Sclerosis Caucus.
