Rep. Jonathan Fritz took the oath of office on Tuesday to represent the people of the 111th District in Wayne and Susquehanna counties.

I am honored to represent the people of the 111th District,” said Fritz. “As a lifelong resident of Wayne County, I understand the challenges facing our communities and pledge to represent our values in Harrisburg.”
