As the calendar year comes to an end, so does the legislative career of Butler County’s longest serving state representative.
Republican Daryl Metcalfe of Cranberry is in his final days of serving the 12th District—which he has done since 1998.
Metcalfe has been a controversial figure during his time in office, especially in recent years with attempts to impeach Governor Tom Wolf, make English the official state language, and an outspoken critic of COVID restrictions.
But in his farewell address earlier this year, he turned to religion as why he served for nearly a quarter century.
“I am thankful to the almighty God, creator of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ his son, my savior and Lord, for calling on me to serve in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the last 24 years,” Metcalfe said on the House floor.
Republican Stephanie Scialabba will succeed Metcalfe next week.
