Rowe Takes Oath of Office, Officially Assumes Leadership Role of Policy Committee
HARRISBURG—Commencing his fourth term serving the 85th Legislative District, Rep. David H. Rowe (R-Snyder/Union/Mifflin/Juniata), chairman of the House Policy Committee, took his oath of office today, Tuesday, Jan. 7, in the state House.
The 85th Legislative District encompasses Snyder County; part of Union County, consisting of the townships of East Buffalo and Union; part of Juniata County, consisting of the townships of Fayette and Monroe; and part of Mifflin County, consisting of the townships of Decatur and Derry and the borough of Burnham.
“Today marks the beginning of my fourth term in service to the people of the 85th, and I am honored to continue representing our central Pennsylvania values of personal freedom, limited government, and the preservation of our Constitutional rights,” said Rowe. “As chairman of the Policy Committee, I am committed to advancing policies that foster economic opportunity, promote educational freedom, unleash Pennsylvania’s energy potential, and ensure government accountability. Together, we will work to create a future where every Pennsylvanian can thrive. Thank you for your trust and support as we seek to make the American Dream achievable for all.”
The Policy Committee is an incubator of ideas, serving as a critical House resource for innovative policy solutions and a voice for small businesses, workers, students, and families all across Pennsylvania. During the 2025-26 Legislative Session, the committee will host frequent hearings throughout the Commonwealth, identifying the most burdensome issues and then using the intelligence gathered at the hearings to put forth meaningful solutions.
Residents of the 85th are invited to visit one of Rowe’s three district offices for help with state-related issues, such as car registrations; driver’s license renewals; special tags; property tax/rent rebate applications; birth certificates; and death records.
