Perry Warren has represented the 31st District since 2017, serving Lower Makefield, Newtown, Yardley, and parts of Morrisville. A former public school teacher and social studies educator (1986–1988), he also spent over 30 years as a small business owner, operating an ice cream truck company on Long Beach Island. Warren’s career in public service began on the Newtown Borough Council (2010–2016), and he practiced as an attorney for nearly three decades. Since entering the State House, he has become known for landmark bipartisan legislation, including Act 18 of 2020, which ended child marriage in Pennsylvania, and Act 21 of 2020, which provided critical relief to local restaurants during the pandemic.
