Martin Causer announced he will seek re-election to continue his service to the 67th Legislative District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
“Now more than ever, the rural perspective needs to be heard loud and clear at the state Capitol. I am the experienced leader to deliver that message and get results for our district,” said Causer, a Republican who has served as state representative since 2002. “I am committed to fighting for our schools, jobs, healthcare and Second Amendment rights. I am equally committed to standing against the higher taxes, unconstitutional mandates and bigger government that are holding our state and region back.”
Recognizing the impact higher energy costs are having on people’s day-to-day expenses, Causer said he is using his role as Republican Chairman of the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee to fight back against attacks on the energy industry and advocate for responsible use of the region’s natural resources as a means to grow jobs and economic opportunity locally and across the state.
“Pennsylvania can be an energy powerhouse if given the opportunity to grow,” Causer said. “Capitalizing on this opportunity is vital to the future of our state and nation.”
He stated he will continue advocating for implementation of voter ID in the Commonwealth to boost trust in the state’s election system. He said polling has shown strong support for voter ID from people of all political parties.
He supports rural healthcare and has worked to ensure access to services in rural areas, including addressing the challenges facing emergency medical services providers. He has twice sponsored legislation to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates to help ambulance companies keep their doors open.
“Especially when people live far from the nearest healthcare facility, first responders can mean the difference between life and death,” Causer said. “It is vital our ambulance companies can continue their life-saving work.”
Other priorities include continued support for rural schools, protecting Second Amendment rights, facilitating expanded access to rural broadband, advancing the state’s agriculture industry, and keeping the Commonwealth’s spending in check.
“I have always put our citizens, our communities and our values first,” Causer said. “I look forward to continuing my service to the people of Cameron, McKean and Potter counties.”
Prior to his role on the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee this session, Causer previously served as chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee, the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, and the House Majority Policy Committee.
Causer serves as an active member of several advisory boards including the Pennsylvania Grade Crude Development Advisory Council and the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Advisory Board. He also serves as a volunteer emergency medical technician with the Port Area Ambulance Service in Port Allegany. Prior to serving in the House of Representatives, Causer served in local government as an Annin Township supervisor. He currently resides in Turtlepoint and has three children.
