Lloyd Smucker (PA-11 - R)

Compare

The former businessman, who grew up in a large Amish family, joined the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus when it was founded to fight partisan gridlock and spoke then about his desire for civility and respect in Congress. Smucker later would be one of 138 House Republicans who objected to his state’s electoral votes being awarded to Joe Biden after the contentious 2020 election. Smucker got a taste for politics as a member of the West Lampeter Township planning commission, and then as a member of the township’s board of supervisors.
