Sen. Elder Vogel Jr. (R-Beaver) is the new Majority Chair of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, succeeding Sen. Mike Brubaker (R-Lancaster) who became Chair of the Senate Finance Committee. "In a short amount of time, Elder has become known in the Senate for his expertise on a wide range of issues affecting agriculture. As a citizen-legislator and fourth-generation dairy farmer, Elder not only knows agriculture, he lives it every day," Sen. Scarnati said. "Elder's background and experience will provide the Senate and the agricultural community with a common sense approach as we look to tackle the many issues facing agriculture today."
"I am honored to be appointed by Sen. Scarnati to be the new Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee," Sen. Vogel said. "I look forward to working with the other members of the Committee, across the partisan lines, as we work on the diverse issues facing the agricultural community."
