Lentz said he did not encourage Schneller to enter the race, and that he does not believe that assisting Schneller circulate his petitions was improper.[8] In 2011, Lentz led the Philadelphia Gun Violence Task Force which received state funding in order to "attack the proliferation of illegal guns on city streets".[9] In 2016, Lentz was nominated to the Pennsylvania Civil Service Commission by Governor Tom Wolf and currently serves as chairman.[10] Lentz is an attorney at the law firm of Bochetto & Lentz.[11] References1. ^{{cite web | title = SESSION OF 2007 191ST OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY No. 1 | work = LEGISLATIVE JOURNAL | publisher = Pennsylvania House of Representatives | date = 2007-01-02 | url = http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/HJ/2007/0/20070102.PDF | accessdate =2009-01-09}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |title=BRYAN R.
