Gleim to Serve as House Republican Policy Committee Deputy Chair

HARRISBURG - State Rep. Barb Gleim (R-Carlisle) has been appointed to serve as a deputy chair with the House Republican Policy Committee for the 2025-26 Legislative Session by its chairman, Rep. David Rowe (R-Snyder/Union/Mifflin/Juniata).

"I appreciate Chairman Rowe asking me to serve in this capacity," said Gleim. "My focus will be education. I've been a member of the House Education Committee for six years, served as the Basic Education Subcommittee chair and currently lead a national education task force. I'm looking forward to traveling the state with the committee and hearing directly from parents and students about what they want and expect out of our education system.

"Parents know what's best for their children," she added. "It's our job as legislators to be their voice in Harrisburg and enact legislation that gives our students the tools and choices they need to succeed."

The House Republican Policy Committee conducts hearings in Harrisburg and in communities statewide about important issues, gathers testimony and information from stakeholders, and works with other members of the House Republican Caucus to develop policy.

"Since education funding is a large portion of our state budget through taxpayers' hard-earned dollars, it is important to make sure there is a return on their investment," Gleim said.
