A longtime local state representative is retiring at the end of the year.
Republican Daryl Metcalfe of the 12th District announced that he would not be seeking re-election in 2022.
In a press release, the Cranberry resident said that he came to the decision “after family discussions, prayerful consideration and affirmation that God is calling me to a new adventure in life.”
Metcalfe is serving his 12th term as a state representative after being first elected to office in 1998.
“I am thankful to the voters who trusted me to represent them in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. I am honored by the broad and deep base of support from citizens across the state who supported my work to limit government, protect taxpayers and defend liberty,” Metcalfe wrote in a press release.
His term will officially end at the end of November.
