Scarnati Names Drew Crompton Chief of Staff and Chief Counsel

WARREN- Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson) announced today that Drew Crompton will be his Chief of Staff.  It was also determined that Crompton will continue to serve as Chief Counsel to the President Pro Tempore.

"I am pleased that Drew has decided to accept the position in a permanent capacity, as it has been clear over his tenure that he has shown the ability to effectively carry out his duties in a professional manner," Scarnati stated.  "Without question, I fully trust in Drew and am confident he will lead the staff and caucus with integrity as we continue to assist the citizens of the Commonwealth."

Scarnati mentioned that Crompton has been his Acting Chief of Staff for the past year and performed his responsibilities admirably.

Crompton joined the Pennsylvania Senate in 1993 as a policy advisor and has played a major role in the development of legislation relating to state taxes, healthcare, and lobbyist disclosure.  He is also a graduate of Dickinson College, as well as Widener School of Law.

"Drew has acted as counsel on numerous issues over his tenure, and along with being Chief of Staff, he will continue his role in many legal matters," Scarnati concluded.  "His extensive experience in overseeing concerns in regard to policy development and legal questions will be valuable to the Senate Republican staff."
