HARRISBURG – State Rep. Matt Gabler (R-Clearfield/Elk) was among members of the state House to be officially sworn into office Tuesday to serve in the General Assembly for the 2015-16 session.
“Taking the oath of office to represent the residents of the 75th District is a great honor,” Gabler said. “I am humbled by the trust placed in me by those who send me to Harrisburg and I embrace the responsibilities associated with serving as their voice in the General Assembly.”
Gabler’s role in state government is expanding as he has been appointed to serve as deputy chairman of the House Majority Policy Committee.
“I’m looking forward to working with Policy Chairman Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin), who I know very well from my first three terms in office,” added Gabler.
“Working on this committee will allow me to further investigate major issues facing Pennsylvania and work with fellow committee members to formulate solutions for the betterment of the Commonwealth.”
The Policy Committee conducts hearings and roundtable discussions across the state about important issues to gather testimony and information from key stakeholders. Gabler will attend these hearings and work with his colleagues in the House Republican Caucus to develop policies to address those issues.
