State Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler)
Recognized by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s “No. 1 Conservative,” and a multiple-time, highest-ranking lawmaker on the Pennsylvania Liberty Index, State Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) enters his sixth term in office with even more opportunities to advance a fiscally conservative, pro-taxpayer agenda and protect the lives, jobs and property of District 12 residents from unlawful invasion and illegal immigration.
Located in Butler County about 30 miles north of the City of Pittsburgh, Representative Metcalfe’s legislative district includes Adams, Clinton, Cranberry, Forward, Jefferson, Middlesex and Penn townships, and Callery, Connoquenessing, Evans City, Mars, Saxonburg, Seven Fields and Valencia boroughs.
For the 2009-10 legislative session, Representative Metcalfe has been appointed to serve as Republican Chairman of the Pennsylvania House Intergovernmental Affairs Committee. The Intergovernmental Affairs Committee considers legislation that is related to relationships among the various levels of local, state and federal government, including unfunded mandates, interstate compacts, state sovereignty, and the repeal of outdated and unnecessary statutes.
During his tenure, Representative Metcalfe has been a leader on the issues of taxpayer protection, education reform, ending Pennsylvania’s illegal alien invasion, the preservation of Second Amendment freedoms, outlawing teacher strikes and Right to Work. His other legislative initiatives include proposals to completely eliminate property taxes in the Commonwealth and requiring voter referendum for any and all future local tax increases.
Overcoming the dual obstacles of Pennsylvania’s extremely vocal, gun-grabbing governor and an increasingly gun control-skewed House Democrat majority, Representative Metcalfe’s legislation to provide potential violent crime victims with an emergency license to carry a firearm was signed into law as an amendment to House Bill 1845 on Oct. 18, 2008.
Before being elected to the Pennsylvania House, Representative Metcalfe was employed with Dade Behring (formerly DuPont Diagnostics) for 13 years as a field engineer. He was responsible for managing a biomedical service territory in western Pennsylvania. As a field engineer, Representative Metcalfe dealt extensively with customer satisfaction by resolving complaints, expediting service and troubleshooting problems. This experience in the business sector has made him sensitive to the needs of businesses and constituents in terms of providing good service, keeping taxes low and trimming the size of bureaucracy.
Representative Metcalfe lives in Cranberry Township with his wife, Elke, and daughter, Lisa.
