A native of Aliquippa, he is a first-generation college graduate who worked as a union steel mill worker to help pay for law school at Ohio State.

Key Issues: Jason Richey’s platform is built on fiscal discipline and economic leadership, pledging to protect taxpayers from what he defines as “reckless spending” by balancing the state budget through government efficiency rather than tax increases. He advocates for business-friendly policies that support job creators and aims to leverage Pennsylvania’s natural resources to establish the Commonwealth as a global leader in energy production. A staunch defender of constitutional liberties, Richey emphasizes the protection of individual rights and calls for greater government transparency to ensure accountability to the public. His approach to community stability focuses on public safety by providing robust support for law enforcement and enhancing local security initiatives designed to drive long-term economic development.
