HARRISBURG – Rep. Ryan Warner (R-Fayette/Westmoreland) has been appointed chairman of the Subcommittee on Housing under the Commerce Committee by Speaker of the House Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny).

“It is an honor to be selected by the speaker to chair this subcommittee in only my second term,” Warner said. “I am eager to work to legislatively address any concerns related to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and mortgage laws.”
