Thank you for your interest in my advisory committees. I have developed the following four groups to provide a way for you to organize and channel information to me. The committees allow me to meet regularly with you to discuss legislation and other state government initiatives which directly affect your interests. If you would like more information on any of these committees, please send me an email or contact my office at (717) 787-6801.

Agricultural Advisory Committee
My Agricultural/Farmers' Advisory Committee helps me better serve the agricultural community of the 15th District. This committee consists of area farmers, vegetable growers, livestock producers, certain dealers and others engaged in agricultural activities such as horticulturists and operators of green houses.

Business Advisory Committee
My Business Advisory Committee expands direct communication between the business community and state government and seeks to improve the business climate in our region and the entire Commonwealth.

Sportsmen's Advisory Committee
My Sportsmen's Advisory Committee gathers two times per year, typically at the headquarters of the Pennsylvania Game Commission or the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, to discuss legislative initiatives that affect those who enjoy the outdoors.

Veterans' Advisory Committee
The Veterans' Advisory Committee meets twice per year, usually in the spring and fall, to discuss legislation introduced in the General Assembly which directly affects veterans or impacts upon the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA).
