Bio:

John Ventre is a retired corporate executive and vocal “America First” advocate who positions himself as the anti-establishment alternative in the Republican primary. His 40-year professional history is anchored by 26 years at UPS, where he served as a Multi-State Security, Crisis Management, and Public Affairs Executive. A former member of the FBI’s InfraGard and the Department of Homeland Security’s Business Coalition, Ventre presents his background in security and corporate logistics as the foundation for his “Never Socialist” platform. An elected Westmoreland Republican Committee member and lifetime NRA/FOAC member, he resides in Hempfield, where he focuses his campaign on dismantling established government structures in favor of a “business-first” approach.

Beyond his corporate and political career, Ventre is an author and public figure in the paranormal community. He has written several books on UFO research and hosts the series ‘Make Ufology Great Again,’ applying the same ‘outsider’ branding to his research into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

Education: State University of New York, Farmingdale (Associate Degree)
Occupation: Retired Executive / Security Director
Key Issues: John Ventre is running on a platform of “America First” fiscal and electoral reform, positioning himself as a strong ally of the national movement to overhaul state government. He advocates for a total repeal of Act 77 to eliminate no-excuse mail-in voting, favoring a return to mandatory in-person voting with strict ID requirements. Ventre’s economic plan includes the immediate elimination of the state fuel tax, a permanent property tax freeze for seniors and veterans, and the creation of a “Department of State Efficiency” to audit and cut what he defines as wasteful public spending. A champion of universal school choice, he proposes that state funding follow students to private or religious institutions. Additionally, he supports unrestricted fossil fuel production and the removal of environmental regulations to prioritize Pennsylvania’s energy sovereignty.
