State Rep. Joe Emrick | Pennsylvania 137th Legislative District
Rep. Joe Emrick of Northampton has been appointed as the Republican chairman of the House Commerce Committee, marking his first time in such a leadership role.
“I’m honored to serve in this position of leadership within the state House,” said Emrick. “Serving as chairman of a committee is an enormous responsibility and I look forward to the upcoming session.”
In the legislative process, once a bill is introduced in the state House, it is assigned by the speaker to one of several standing committees. These committees can hold hearings, propose amendments, and decide whether a bill should be considered by the full House of Representatives.
“I’m excited about this opportunity. I look forward to working with the members of the committee to advance policies that are critical to improving the lives of Pennsylvanians,” Emrick added.
Representative Joe Emrick serves Pennsylvania's 137th District in the House of Representatives. For media inquiries, contact Jordan Walters at 717-260-6528.
