Meet John

A lifelong resident of southern Chester County, John is committed to bringing a common sense, reform-minded approach towards governing. The son of a small businessman and grandson of a dairy farmer, John grew up with a firsthand view of the challenges faced by the owners of local, family-run businesses. He has been outspoken in the need for government reform, authoring legislation to consolidate redundant government services, eliminate government waste, and require legislators to submit for drug testing. Leading by example, John declines a state pension, per diems, and other “perks” awarded to legislators.

His relentless advocacy for Pennsylvania’s agricultural community has earned him respect on both sides of the aisle. He has introduced and moved bipartisan legislation to support Pennsylvania’s struggling dairy farmers, and to combat the invasive spotted lanternfly. Additionally, he has been involved in efforts to support the equine industry, provide critical funding to the New Bolton Center, and address the threat posed by the phorid fly to southern Chester County’s residents and mushroom farmers. A former trustee of Lincoln University, John is a strong supporter of K-12 education and Pennsylvania’s institutions of higher learning. He has consistently voted to increase state financial support for Avon Grove, Oxford, and Octorara school districts.
