Personal life and education
Schreiber graduated from St. Pius X High School in 1998 and earned a B.A. in Public Relations from York College of Pennsylvania in 2002. He earned an MPA from Penn State in 2012.[3]
Career
Schreiber has served in the House since 2013, when he won a special election to succeed Eugene DePasquale, who resigned his seat to become Pennsylvania Auditor General.[4] He sits on the Appropriations, Education, Environmental Resources & Energy, Local Government, and Tourism & Recreational Development committees.[3] Schreiber describes education and keeping small communities competitive as his top priorities.[5]
Schreiber has made animal rights one of his major focuses since talking office. He has introduced legislation to require pet stores to provide more information to customers about dogs that are available for sale and legislation designed to stop the practice of leaving pets unattended in hot motor vehicles. In April 2016, he was honored with the Humane Pennsylvania Legislator of the Year award for his efforts.
Schreiber previously served as the Director of Economic and Community Development for the York municipal government under both mayoral administrations of John S. Brenner and C. Kim Bracey.[4]
Controversy
In the 2013 special election, criticism arose when it was learned that some of Schreiber's campaign volunteers had made anti-gay comments about his openly gay Republican opponent, Bryan Tate. Schreiber later condemned any such comments.[6]
