HARRISBURG – Sen. Joe Picozzi (R-5) was appointed by President Pro Tempore Kim Ward (R-39) to serve as the vice chair of the Senate Majority Policy Committee today. Sen. Dave Argall (R-29), the chair of the committee, congratulated him on this appointment.
“I’m excited for Sen. Picozzi to bring the same tireless energy and incredible work ethic to this role that he has brought to Northeast Philadelphia since his historic win last year,” said Argall. “The Senate Majority Policy Committee has hit the ground running this year, and we now have the perfect vice chair to continue those efforts.”
“I am honored to be appointed as vice chair of the Senate Majority Policy Committee and to serve with Sen. Argall,” said Picozzi. “I am proud to represent Northeast Philadelphia in this new role, bringing a fresh, forward-thinking, urban-Republican perspective from the emerging generation—one rooted in innovative ideas, creative solutions, and a commitment to thinking outside the box.”
In this role, Picozzi will chair public hearings when Argall is unable to attend, direct majority caucus research efforts, and assist with scheduling and planning public hearings on issues facing people throughout Pennsylvania.
Picozzi also serves as the chair of the Senate Urban Affairs and Housing Committee. In his four months in office, he has already guided legislation to protect transit operators through the Senate with strong, bipartisan support.
