Personal life and education

Career

Schreiber has served in the House since 2013, when he won a special election to succeed Eugene DePasquale, who resigned his seat to become Pennsylvania Auditor General.[4] He sits on the Environmental Resources & Energy, Children & Youth, Local Government, and Urban Affairs committees.[3] Schreiber describes education and keeping small communities competitive as his top priorities.[5]

Schreiber previously served as the Director of Economic and Community Development for the York municipal government under both mayoral administrations of John S. Brenner and C. Kim Bracey.[4]

Controversy

In the 2013 special election, criticism arose when it was learned that some of Schreiber's campaign volunteers had made anti-gay comments about his openly gay Republican opponent, Brian Tate. Schreiber later condemned any such comments.[6]
