Rep. Danilo Burgos    January 7, 2025

HARRISBURG, Jan. 7 – During a ceremony at the state Capitol to open Pennsylvania’s 209th legislative session, state Rep. Danilo Burgos, D-Phila., took the oath of office to begin his fourth term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, where he’ll also serve as chairman of the House Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee for the first time. 

Burgos, who represents the 197th Legislative District, was a member of the consumer protection committee in the 2023-24 legislative session.

“It is a tremendous responsibility to be at the helm in protecting consumers as they deal with daily quality-of-life issues such as their utilities, potential price gouging, product safety and more,” Burgos said. “I am excited to get to work in making sure the people of Pennsylvania have the laws and tools they need to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, keep their lights on year-round, and have clean drinking water and safe sewer systems in their communities.

“I am as equally thankful to again represent the caring and hardworking people in north Philadelphia’s Kensington, Hunting Park, Glenwood and Feltonville neighborhoods. I look forward to advancing legislation for their benefit and to bringing home tax dollars to help fund the human, cultural and economic development needs of our north Philadelphia community,” he said.     

Burgos is the first Dominican elected to serve in the Pennsylvania General Assembly and is a first-generation Hispanic American. He was a charter member of the Pennsylvania Legislative Latino Caucus and served as its chairman in the 2023-24 legislative session.

Burgos maintains a constituent service office at 635 W. Erie Ave. in Philadelphia. He encourages his constituents to contact him by phone at 215-223-1890, via email at RepBurgos@pahouse.net, through his website at RepBurgos.com, or on social media @RepBurgos.
