Katie Muth (Berks/Chester/Montgomery counties) was reelected Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Caucus to serve as Chair of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.
Muth will serve as a member of leadership for the 2023-24 legislative session. She was elected to the state senate’s 44th District in 2018.
Muth said in a statement that she is grateful for the support of her colleagues and stakeholders and looks forward to the upcoming session, which will provide another opportunity to work on a robust policy agenda for the Democratic caucus.
“In my first term as Policy Committee Chair, our committee crisscrossed the state to ensure all members of our caucus had an opportunity to host hearings on issues impacting their committees and ensured that all our constituents and stakeholders were able to tell their stories, share their knowledge and advocate for various causes,” said Muth.
“I am really looking forward to promoting these causes and hearing more impactful stories that drive our caucus’ policy agenda and priorities.”
The Senate Democratic Policy Committee hosted 47 policy hearings across the state under Muth’s leadership during the 2021-22 legislative session. The hearings focused on legislation, policy initiatives, and causes meaningful to caucus members.
The committee also collaborated with the House Democratic Policy Committee to host a series of hearings focused on reproductive rights in Pennsylvania.
