By the Numbers: Rep. Joyce’s First Year in Congress

October 6, 2020

During his first year in office, Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13) established a strong record of service for the people of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District.

"Over the past year, it has been my privilege to serve the people of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives," said Congressman Joyce."From promoting my constituents' priorities in Congress to helping them cut through red tape with federal agencies, I am here to work for them."

"Despite unprecedented opposition from House Democrats in 2019, the House was able to deliver several key results for the American people including passing a historic trade deal that will deliver benefits for the dedicated farmers, workers, and industry of PA-13. In the coming year, I will continue working to strengthen our national security, promote fiscal responsibility, improve our health care system, and protect Americans' rights," added Congressman Joyce.
