State Rep. Kurt Masser, who represents the 107th legislative district, spanning portions of Columbia, Montour and Northumberland counties, visited the Pennsylvania College of Technology campus on Wednesday to find out more about the college’s unique educational model and to explore possible linkages to secondary education in his district.Accompanied by his chief of staff, Harold Hurst, Masser, who has served in the Legislature since 2011, toured labs and classrooms in the schools of Construction & Design Technologies; Health Sciences (nursing and dental hygiene); and Industrial, Computing & Engineering Technologies. Also included was a stop at the Plastics Innovation & Resource Center.
Masser and his family own and operate several restaurants, catering operations and a farmer’s market in the Paxinos-Ralpho Township areas. He managed to include an impromptu tour of culinary areas during a stop for lunch at Le Jeune Chef Restaurant.
During the 2017-18 legislative session, Masser was elected to serve as a member of the House Republican leadership team as majority caucus administrator. He is also a former Northumberland County commissioner, having served in that role from 2004 to 2010.
