Ryan Mackenzie (R-Lehigh\/Berks) this week received notice of two leadership positions he has been appointed to on House standing committees for the 2017-18 legislative session by Speaker of the House Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs someone who prioritizes job creation and business development when it comes to my legislative agenda, I am honored to be appointed to these positions,\u201d said Mackenzie. \u201cI look forward to working with the chairmen of the two committees to help advance pro-worker and pro-business legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first appointment is to the position of vice chairman of the House Labor and Industry Committee. Mackenzie is a long-standing member of the committee and served as vice chairman of the committee last session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepresentative Mackenzie is an active member on the committee and brings with him a great knowledge of the issues impacting jobs and businesses in the Commonwealth, given his previous position as director of policy with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry,\u201d said Rep. Rob Kauffman (R-Franklin), chairman of the House Labor and Industry Committee. \u201cI look forward to his input and leadership within the committee as we move through the legislative session.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie has also been appointed to serve as chairman of the Subcommittee on Financial Services and Banking under the House Commerce Committee. The committee is responsible for originating legislation and overseeing implementation of programs which affect Pennsylvania companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepresentative Mackenzie is a great asset to the Commerce Committee, as he is well versed and engaged with the issues,\u201d said House Commerce Committee Chairman Brian Ellis (R-Butler). \u201cAs chairman of the Financial Services and Banking Subcommittee, he will have an opportunity to lead important policy discussions that impact Pennsylvania residents, businesses and the overall economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more on Mackenzie\u2019s legislative activities, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/yx20.us\/p\/?_2374-60\/26ARG4CW9-2\/_2._ct\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/yx20.us\/p\/?_2374-60\/26ARG4CW9-2\/_2._ct&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1492198542122000&amp;usg=AFQjCNExyHu1nAv4MOYE-zBXvXpIJjQipA\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>www.RepMackenzie.com<\/u><\/span><\/em><\/a>, like him on Facebook at <a href=\"http:\/\/yx20.us\/p\/?_2374-60\/26ARG4CW9-3\/_3._ct\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/yx20.us\/p\/?_2374-60\/26ARG4CW9-3\/_3._ct&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1492198542122000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEDMlLFd5yFG-KIxhRY-OVn8FxGog\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>www.Facebook.com\/RepMackenzie<\/u><\/span><\/em><\/a>, or follow him on Twitter at <a href=\"http:\/\/yx20.us\/p\/?_2374-60\/26ARG4CW9-4\/_4._ct\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/yx20.us\/p\/?_2374-60\/26ARG4CW9-4\/_4._ct&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1492198542122000&amp;usg=AFQjCNErB_rxd05Y_5IAFXKzIpCWY858vw\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>www.Twitter.com\/RepMackenzie<\/u><\/span><\/em><\/a>.<br \/>\nInformation provided by:<br \/>\nTricia Lehman<br \/>\nRepresentative Ryan Mackenzie<br \/>\n134th District<br \/>\nPennsylvania House of Representatives<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip;
