HARRISBURG, June 4 – State Rep. Danilo Burgos, D-Phila., welcomed the confirmation of Pennsylvania’s new Consumer Advocate, Darryl Lawrence.

Attorney General Dave Sunday announced Lawrence’s nomination on March 18 and he was confirmed this week by the Pennsylvania State Senate.

Burgos is the chairman of the House Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities Committee and will work alongside Lawrence. Among consumer issues, the committee oversees the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and reviews bills related to consumer privacy, utilities, broadband and more.

“I look forward to working with Darryl Lawrence and his office as we strive to protect utility customers across the commonwealth,” Burgos said. “He brings 20 years of experience of protecting Pennsylvanians from within the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate. I am excited for what we will accomplish and am confident that he will look out for the people of Pennsylvania.”

The Office of Consumer Advocate is a state agency that represents the interests of Pennsylvania utility consumers before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, federal regulatory agencies and state and federal courts. It is an independent office within the Office of Attorney General and was created by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1976.
