About Tim

Rep. Tim Twardzik, a Schuylkill County native, is serving his third term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing the 123rd District. He is dedicated to job creation, supporting small businesses, advocating for better health care, combating community blight, and delivering outstanding constituent services.

Born and raised in Schuylkill County, Twardzik graduated from Shenandoah Valley High School and earned his degree from the University of Notre Dame.

For the 2025-26 Legislative Session, Twardzik was appointed to the following House committees:

   • Commerce
   • Environmental and Natural Resource Protection
   • Health
   • Housing and Community Development
   • Tourism, Recreation and Economic Development
 
He also serves as a deputy Republican whip and secretary of the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee.

Committed to tackling blight in Schuylkill County, Twardzik introduced legislation to establish the Vacant Property Registration Act. This initiative would allow communities to create and maintain a vacant property registration program, a smart growth tool to stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods. As co-chairman of the Housing Caucus, he continues to promote access to safe, stable and affordable housing. 

Twardzik spearheaded Act 11 of 2023 to ensure tobacco companies continue honoring their commitments under the 2003 Tobacco Product Manufacturer Directory Act Master Settlement Agreement. This agreement funds health care for individuals with smoking-related illnesses and educates youth on the dangers of tobacco use. 

In 2025, Twardzik’s House Bill 1103 (Act 16 of 2025) became law to give borrowers greater flexibility in the mortgage process, enabling consumers to reduce their interest rates and monthly mortgage payments.

Before entering public service, he was the executive vice president and co-owner of Ateeco Inc., makers of Mrs. T’s Pierogies.
