Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-PA)

LLOYD SMUCKER sits on two committees: Ways and Means, and Budget.

Smucker puts forth little in the way of legislation. He participates in a great deal of semantics. Often a bill he introduces will change a single word in existing legislation.

He's best known for his "remarks" on the floor of the House, rambling on and on about work anniversaries and retirements for people in his district. I am guessing that Republicans keep him because he is a dependable MAGA vote.

Doesn't matter that he generates little legislation. He shows up for votes. And votes as instructed. And makes "remarks" on the floor of the House benefiting a city council member.
