Hearings and Public Testimony

This page is by no means comprehensive and it does not update automatically. Please reference the listed websites for the most up to date information. If you have a question that isn’t answered on the various sites, the best solution is to pick up the phone and call or email the chairs of each committee or commission.

The House and Senate State Government Committees will each hold their own independent hearings on our congressional districts, and the Legislative Reapportionment Commission will hold their own hearings on the PA state House and Senate districts.

When will they ask for public input?

When will they share draft and final maps?

Right now we don’t know. One thing we do know is that finding and following the information so that we can engage has been difficult.

What can you do?

1. Subscribe to get direct updates from the two committees and the one commission.
2. Call or email the Chairs with your questions — this does two things. First, you may get your questions answered and, second, your calls and emails will make it clear that PA voters are paying attention.

Websites to follow:

• For the legislative maps/hearings/meetings, use the Legislative Reapportionment Commission’s website to find information.
• For the congressional maps/hearings/meetings, the State Government Committees schedules can be found here (Senate) and here (House). These sites are also the best places to find live streaming links. You may also need to call the Chairs of these committees to find out where the live stream links will be posted.
• The PA House GOP Caucus also has this website for congressional redistricting.

Phone numbers and email of the Chairs:

• Legislative Reapportionment Chair, Mark Nordenberg chair@redistricting.state.pa.us
• House State Government Committee Chair, Seth Grove Website Contact Form (717) 783-2655
• Senate State Government Committee Chair, David Argall dargall@pasen.gov (717) 787-2637
