David M. Maloney, Republican chairman of the Pennsylvania House Game and Fisheries Committee and representative for Berks County communities, has recently posted a series of statements on his social media account addressing issues related to the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and state game lands.
On March 10, 2026, Maloney shared a message questioning public support for an official statement: “You support this? **State Rep. David Maloney (R-Berks)**, Chairman of the Pennsylvania House Game and Fisheries Committee, issued on **June 10, 2025**, titled **’PA Game Commission Torches State Game Lands’**. This was published on his official legislative website https://t.co/aobZHmg85A”.
The following day, March 11, 2026, he criticized what he described as a lack of open communication with the PGC: “They shutdown open dialogue with the PGC! All Cowards! https://t.co/x4BvzDXXLv”.

Maloney’s advocacy extends beyond these recent posts. He supports allowing public schools to host hunter education courses as part of broader community-oriented efforts (official website). His legislative priorities include eliminating property taxes, protecting children through background checks for those working with minors and mandatory reporting of child abuse by schools, fostering private sector jobs, safeguarding property rights, and promoting conservation (official website). Additionally, Maloney has championed legislation establishing September 27 as First Responders Day and requiring the display of the POW/MIA flag on state properties (official website).
Maloney represents several Berks County communities such as Alsace Township and Boyertown borough (official website). As chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee (official website), his comments reflect ongoing tensions between some lawmakers and state agencies regarding management practices for public lands.
