In preparation for the new Legislative session, Senator Vogel has been appointed to the following committees by President Pro Tempore, Senator Joe Scarnati: Local Government, Vice Chairman; Agriculture & Rural Affairs, Environmental Resources & Energy, Public Health & Welfare, and Urban Affairs & Housing. “I look forward with anticipation to working with my fellow colleagues on each committee as we begin the legislative process,” commented Senator Vogel.” As part of his commitment to make access to state services as convenient as possible for his constituents, Senator Vogel is opening a Beaver County District Office and a Lawrence County District Office on Wednesday, January 7. Both offices will be open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Beaver County Office is located at 488 Adams Street in Rochester, the telephone number is (724) 774-0444.

That means helping people on a case-by-case basis. I hope people can find time to stop in, see what is available and chat a bit. ”
