| Info | Since his remarkable election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1992, Sam Rohrer has been one of the leading voices for state government reform and family-affirming public policies. His outspoken support for constitutional principles has been the hallmark of his public service. More than opposing negative public policies, Sam has been a champion for consensus-building public policy alternatives and solutions.
The son of a union steelworker, Sam strongly advocates issues that impact working families. By promoting the role of parents in their children's education, opposing tax increases on employees and workers, and crafting landmark legislation to eliminate school property taxes, Sam continues to build broad bipartisan coalitions on a range of important issues.
During his tenure on the House Education Committee, Sam authored the historic Education Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) scholarship. To date, some 33,000 Pennsylvania students have been empowered to attend private or enhanced public school programs because of the initiative.
Sam and his family's love of the outdoors fuels a passion to improve the stewardship of Pennsylvania's natural resources. As the Republican chairman of the Game and Fisheries Committee, he was an outspoken proponent of commonsense conservation policies that respect private property and protects the rights of tens of thousands of hunters and anglers. Because of his uncompromising support for Second Amendment freedoms he has earned the consistent backing of sportsmen and gun owners.
In 2007, Sam was appointed to the Speaker's Commission on Government Reform, which brought new levels of transparency and accountability to the state legislature. In his current role as Republican chairman of the House Finance Committee, he continues to argue for strong, structural limits on state government taxes and spending.
In recent months, Sam has been leading opposition to the explosive growth of federal spending, regulations and unconstitutional mandates in Pennsylvania. This year, he led an effort to pass the "10th Amendment Resolution," challenging the expanded reach of the federal government in areas ranging from healthcare to education.
Sam and his wife Ruth Ann are the parents of six children and three grandchildren. The Rohrer family considers their commitment to faith and family as their highest priorities.
