Guest Speaker
This year’s speaker is Pennsylvania State Representative, Lou Schmitt.
In 2018, Louis C. “Lou” Schmitt Jr. was chosen by the people of the 79th Legislative District in Blair County to represent them in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The district includes the City of Altoona, the townships of Allegheny and Logan and the borough of Tunnelhill. For the 2025-26 session, Lou serves on the Environmental and Natural Resource Protection, Insurance and Transportation committees.
Lou’s top priority is to create greater economic opportunities for residents and employers of the 79th Legislative District by supporting and advancing legislation that cuts through the red tape, encourages job creation and keeps companies from moving out of state.
