Welcome to my website! I hope that you find this website not only informative but also useful as a resource. It is an honor to represent Pennsylvania's 5th District. Spread across the rugged hills and beautiful valleys of central and northwest Pennsylvania, the 5th Congressional District encompasses some or all of 16 rural counties and features awe-inspiring scenery, quaint historic towns, friendly people and almost limitless opportunities for fun and adventure. Find out more about what our region has to offer by visiting PA's 5th District Online.
