Keith James Rothfus /ˈrɒθfəs/ (born April 25, 1962)[1] is an American lawyer and politician who served as the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district from 2013 to 2019.

[8][10][11] Although Critz had retained the bulk of his former territory, he could not overcome the significantly redder hue of the redrawn district.

It lost its eastern portion, including the area around Johnstown, and reconfigured as a more compact district in the northern and western suburbs of Pittsburgh.

Democrat Conor Lamb, who won a special election for the neighboring 18th District, had his home drawn into the new 17th and filed to run for a full term there on March 20.

[18][19] The political action committee America First Policies bought advertisements in support of Rothfus's campaign.

[21] On July 20, 2017, Rothfus introduced H.J.Res.111, which nullifies a rule submitted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Approximately 130 of Rothfus's constituents requested a town hall to discuss their concerns about removed/reduced health coverage.

The legislation would tailor the supervision of the Federal Reserve over holding companies that own thrifts (savings and loans banks).

The bill streamlines regulator's approach to insurance savings and loan holding companies (ISLHCs) by enacting several reforms.

[29] In 2013, Rothfus voted against a bill to provide disaster relief funding to victims of Hurricane Sandy.

"[30] In January 2017, Rothfus issued a statement in support of President Trump's executive order on refugees.

[31] In May 2017, Rothfus voted to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act,[32][33][34] including provisions to defund Planned Parenthood.

[35] The bill included an exemption for Congress that was later removed,[36] and the MacArthur amendment, which allowed states to opt out of covering preexisting conditions.
