About Keith

In 2012, Keith J. Greiner, CPA (R-Upper Leacock) was elected to serve the residents of the 43rd Legislative District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Now in his seventh term, he has been reappointed Republican chairman of the House Finance Committee where he will continue to be a fiscal watchdog for the 43rd District and Pennsylvania. As a certified public accountant (CPA), Keith brings his expertise in auditing, accounting and tax law to the Capitol to defend Pennsylvania’s taxpayers and work to ensure state government operates efficiently.

This session, he was also appointed to the House Insurance Committee, which oversees the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and ensures any insurance-related legislation is thoroughly examined before it reaches the full House for consideration. Given the increasing weather-related destruction resulting from wildfires, hurricanes, flooding and other natural disasters, the insurance industry is in a transformative time and Keith will work to minimize the impact on Pennsylvanians.

A lifelong resident of Lancaster County, Keith understands and shares the values of the people he serves and steadfastly defends them at the state Capitol. As state representative, Keith does not accept taxpayer-funded per diems, vehicles, meals or cell phones.

Keith gained an understanding of sound financial practices and the needs of the private sector during his nearly 25 years of experience in the business world. He works to correct out-of-control government spending and overregulation to prevent it from hindering employers and job creation. By promoting tax fairness, he aims to help Pennsylvania families thrive and employers to compete more effectively.

In addition to job creation, Keith focuses on state and municipal pension reform. He believes public employees should receive the same benefits as the people for whom they work, and he uses his expertise in accounting to help resolve the multi-billion-dollar unfunded liability in the state’s public pension systems.

He previously served as the elected Lancaster County Controller, where he kept a watchful eye on county government finances and helped to hold the line on property taxes. Prior to that he was elected as township auditor for many years and subsequently elected a township supervisor in Upper Leacock Township. He is a life-member of the Upper Leacock Fire Company, where he had served as a firefighter for many years and as its fire prevention coordinator.

Keith is a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University and a life member of its alumni association. For nearly 25 years, he has served on the board of the Ressler Mill Foundation and currently serves as its president. He was a member of the American Business Club (AMBUCS) of Lancaster for 20 years, helping individuals with disabilities. He had also served many years in church leadership.

The 43rd Legislative District is comprised of the boroughs of Akron, Ephrata, and New Holland; and the townships of Earl, Ephrata, Leacock, Upper Leacock and West Earl.
