Teresa E. Forcier (formerly Teresa E. Fosburg Brown)[2] is a former Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. She represented the 6th legislative district, which consists of parts of Crawford County, from 1991 through 2006.[3]

She graduated from Cambridge Springs High School in 1971.[3] She attended classes at Alliance College and Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.[3] Prior to elective office, Forcier served as Assistant Director in the Crawford County Tax Claim Bureau. She also worked for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as a Legislative Assistant.[4] She was named Crawford County Republican Woman of the Year for 1995 by the Northwest Council of Republican Women.[4]

Forcier voted against the 2005 legislative pay raise, but accepted the controversial "unvouchered expenses," which contributed to her loss in the 2006 republican primary to Brad Roae.[5]
