Rowe Re-Elected GOP Policy Committee Chair for 2027-28 Session

November 10, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. David H. Rowe (R-Snyder/Union/Mifflin/Juniata) was re-elected today by his peers to serve as chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee for the upcoming 2027-28 Legislative Session. This marks Rowe’s second consecutive term in House Republican Caucus leadership, alongside his continued representation of the 85th Legislative District.

“During my first session as Policy chairman, we held 51 hearings to listen firsthand to the challenges Pennsylvanians face every day—from paying rising electric bills and finding affordable childcare to keeping their communities safe.,” said Rowe. “Those conversations helped us develop commonsense policy solutions grounded in people’s experiences, rather than assumptions made in the Harrisburg bubble.”

“Heading into this new session, I am energized to continue serving on the House Republican leadership team,” Rowe added. “It is an honor to once again be trusted with this role, and I look forward to building on our momentum to make Pennsylvania a more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family.”

As chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, Rowe leads statewide hearings, collects testimony from industry experts and residents, and collaborates with caucus colleagues to craft policy priorities for the Commonwealth.

Alongside Rowe, the new House leadership team will consist of Leader Jesse Topper (R-Bedford/Fulton), Whip Tim O’Neal (R-Washington), Appropriations Chairman Jamie Barton (R- Berks/Schuylkill), Caucus Administrator Marla Brown (R-Lawrence), Caucus Chairwoman Martina White (R-Philadelphia), and Caucus Secretary Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford).
