A couple of local state senators took the oath of office for a new term earlier this week.
Republican Scott Hutchinson was sworn-in at noon Tuesday to begin his 12th year as the senator for Pennsylvania’s 21st District.
For the 2025-26 session, Hutchinson will continue to chair the Senate Finance committee as he has done for the past eight years.
State Senator Elder Vogel was also sworn into another four-year term.
