Olsommer takes the Oath of Office

Rep. Jeff Olsommer (R) was sworn into office on Tuesday, May 21 to represent the people of the 139th Legislative District.

“I’m ready to get to work for the citizens of the 139th Legislative District,” Olsommer said. “I’m grateful to the folks back home who sent me here and it is a privilege to represent them.”

According to an announcement issued by the PA House GOP, Olsommer’s key issues include reducing taxes for families and seniors on fixed incomes, advancing “pro-growth” policies, reducing crime, working with school districts to “empower and educate tomorrow’s workforce,” ensuring first responders have the resources they need, slashing so-called “government intrusion,” fetal rights, and the Second Amendment.

Residents of the 139th District are invited to stop by Olsommer’s office and receive assistance with any state-related matters. Some of these services include vehicle registrations; driver’s license renewals and special tags; property tax/rent rebate applications, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) applications; birth certificate and death record applications; and more. The district office is located in Hawley at 2523 Route 6, Suite 2.

Olsommer recently won a special election to replace former State Rep. Joe Adams. He will now fill the remainer of Adams’ term, which concludes at the end of 2024. Olsommer is also running to retain the seat against Democrat Robin Skibber in the November 5 general election.

The 139th Legislative District is comprised of parts of Pike and Wayne counties, including the townships of Blooming Grove, Dingman, Greene, Lackawaxen, Milford, Palmyra (Pike), Shohola, Westfall, Cherry Ridge, Dreher, Lake, Lehigh, Paupack, Palmyra (Wayne), Salem, South Canaan and Sterling; and the boroughs of Matamoras, Milford, and Hawley.
