PA House Fellowship Program

Today we welcomed the Fall 2026 Legislative Fellows. The day was filled with the obligatory paperwork, a tour of the Capitol, and then off to their assigned committees to get oriented.

Looking forward to another great semester of growth, learning, and connections!

It’s been a busy week including tours of the State and House Archives and PA Judicial Center. The importance of storing records and value of knowing where we’ve come from helps us know where we’re going and can maybe even save us from past mistakes.

Thank you to the dedicated public servants doing this important work and taking the time to share with the Fellows.
