Reps. Tina Pickett and Clint Owlett have been sworn in to continue representing Bradford County in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The ceremony took place today as they renewed their commitment to serving their constituents.

In a joint statement, the representatives expressed their dedication to addressing key regional issues: "It is an honor to represent the people and the values of rural Pennsylvania, the Northern Tier and especially Bradford County in the state House. We are committed to tackling the issues that matter most in our region, from policies to mitigate flooding and expand broadband service to those ensuring quality education for our students, safety in our communities and opportunity for family-sustaining jobs."

The lawmakers also emphasized their role as intermediaries between residents and state government: "In addition to working on these broader issues, we are equally committed to helping residents with any state-related issues they may have. We are your link to state government and stand ready to serve."

Tina Pickett serves on the eastern side of Bradford County with offices located in Towanda and Sayre. She will continue her role as Republican chair of the House Insurance Committee. This committee is responsible for overseeing the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and developing insurance-related policies.

Clint Owlett represents the western side of Bradford County from his office in Troy. He begins his first term as secretary of the House Republican Caucus, where he will mentor 11 new members who were elected in November.
