About Carl

Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar represents Pennsylvania's 69th Legislative District. A lifelong resident of Somerset County, Metzgar brings a strong agricultural and business-oriented background to his role in Harrisburg. Born and raised on a farm outside of Berlin, Metzgar learned the values of hard work and responsibility early, spending his formative years raising cattle and performing farm duties. He graduated from Berlin Brothersvalley High School in 2000 and now resides on his own farm outside of Berlin with his wife, Molly, and their five children.

Metzgar is deeply committed to the conservative and traditional values of personal responsibility, hard work, and a steadfast belief in the constitutions of Pennsylvania and the United States.

During his tenure, Metzgar has been a tireless advocate for the citizens of the 69th Legislative District, championing legislation to reduce government control, lower taxes, and promote a strong economy. He has also focused on public safety, supporting measures to enhance penalties for assaults against corrections staff and backing law enforcement initiatives.

For the 2025-26 legislative session, Metzgar was appointed Republican chairman of the Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee.
