Washington, DC – Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-11) has been appointed by Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) to serve as a member of the British-American Interparliamentary Group (BAPG).

The United States delegation is equally divided between members of the House of Representatives and United States Senate.

“I want to thank Speaker McCarthy for the opportunity to serve as a Member of the British-American Interparliamentary Group. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is our nation’s most steadfast ally. I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue to strengthen ties between our nations and find additional opportunities to cooperate on policymaking. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, I especially look forward to conversations about formalizing our nations’ trade relations,” said Rep. Lloyd Smucker.
