Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker and the House Problem Solvers Caucus introduced a package of changes to the House Rules to make Congress work for the American people. The proposed rule changes reward openness and transparency, encourage a willingness to reach across the aisle, create debate on divisive issues, and empower lawmakers to find real solutions concerning our nation's most pressing matters.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-16) today spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representativesin support of workforce development efforts, and to urge his colleagues to support his legislation to address the urgent need to ensure current and future workers are prepared for jobs in today's 21stcentury economy.

U.S. dairy groups today commended the bipartisan efforts of 68 members of Congress who encouraged the U.S. Trade Representative to eliminate Canada's tariffs on U.S. dairy exports and its protectionist pricing policies during the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) negotiations.
After a decade of disappointment, officials have new hope that Lancaster and York counties will soon become the nation's 50th National Heritage Area.
The designation as the Susquehanna National Heritage Area would mean hundreds of thousands of federal dollars each year to promote tourism and economic development along both sides of the Susquehanna River.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker's (PA-16) older brother, Reverend Sam Smucker, was today's guest chaplain in the U.S. House of Representatives and delivered the opening prayer prior to floor proceedings.
When I took office in January 2017, I committed myself to representing you and your families so the policies enacted in Washington work for our community.
I took with me to Congress your ideas for legislation and your concerns about the direction of our country. By working together, we've been successful in advancing and enacting reforms that have direct, positive impacts on our district.
Our public square is wrought with divisiveness and hyperbole. Many of the issues before the 115th Congress have bipartisan areas of agreement, like health care, immigration and infrastructure improvements. Unfortunately, radical political actors on both sides and an all-too-complicit media polarize these issues, derailing efforts to provide progress for the American people.
It's happening again right now, while parents are still mourning.
