How every member of the Pa. House voted for speaker
Sixteen Republicans joined every Democrat to elect Rep. Mark Rozzi, a Berks County Democrat who said he will govern as an independent.
In a surprise vote Tuesday, the Pennsylvania state House selected Rep. Mark Rozzi, a Berks County Democrat, to be speaker, with 16 Republicans joining every Democrat to elevate Rozzi to the post.
The 115-85 vote means Rozzi will preside over a closely divided chamber after Democrats in November won a one-seat majority of seats — but then three vacancies arose due to a death and two resignations. Rozzi said Tuesday that he would govern as an independent and will not caucus with either party, but it’s unclear if he will change his party registration.
Joining Democrats in voting for Rozzi on Tuesday were a handful of moderates and all seven members of the House GOP caucus leadership. The remaining 85 Republicans voted for Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar (R., Somerset).
