Which PA Legislators are members of ALEC?

David just posted on ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) and reminded us that PA State Rep. Daryl "I Don't Speak Mexican" Metcalfe (R-Butler) is a member. So, which other Pennsylvania legislators are ALEC members? This press release by Keystone Progress urging them all to quit ALEC mentions the following:
  • GOP House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (whose participation in ALEC is paid by state taxpayers)

  • GOP House Majority Caucus Chair Sandra Major

  • GOP House Caucus Administrator Dick Stevenson

  • GOP House Judiciary Chair Ronald Marsico

  • GOP House State Government Chair Daryl Metcalfe

  • GOP Senate Majority Caucus Secretary Robert Robbins

  • GOP Senate Judiciary Chair Stewart Greenleaf

  • And GOP Chairs of numerous committees, including Representatives Matthew Baker (Health), Stephen Barrar (Veterans Affairs), Paul Clymer (Educational), John Evans (Game & Fisheries), Robert Godshall (Consumer Affairs), Kate Harper (Ethics), Dick Hess (Commerce), Ronald Miller (Labor & Industry) and Senators Charles McIlhinney (State Government), Jeffrey Piccola (Education), John Pippy (Law & Justice)

  • Rep. John Evans (R-Crawford, Erie) currently serves as ALEC’s PA chair.
  • It goes on to mention 30 more members -- only three of whom are Democrats. Guess who's among them? Yes, my old friend: Rep. Harry Readshaw (D, Allegheny). Guess that explains a lot.
