Raised in the ideals of his Pennsylvania home and tested on the field of combat defending his nation, state Sen. Ryan Aument, R-Lancaster, is committed to ensuring a prosperous and economically competitive Commonwealth for all.
Along with representing the constituents of the 36th State Senatorial District, Ryan also formed and chaired the nation’s first Nuclear Energy Caucus for a state legislature, and serves as Majority Whip for the Senate Republican Caucus.
His mission is to ensure Pennsylvania competes with higher growth states such as Texas, North Carolina, and Florida for jobs and opportunities and prioritizes tax reform (he was instrumental in the enactment of the Corporate Net Income Tax reduction law); along with education reform, permitting reform, government reform, and eradicating fraud in state government.
A lifelong resident of Lancaster County, Ryan received his bachelor’s degree in Education from The Citadel. He served as a U.S. Army captain in Operation Iraqi Freedom, briefly commanding an infantry company of 150 soldiers after the company commander was wounded in combat. Throughout his military service, he earned the Bronze Star Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, and the Army Parachutist Badge.
Ryan then won office as Lancaster County Clerk of Courts and went on to win two terms in the State House and later, two terms in the State Senate, where he served as chair of the Senate Education Committee and the Senate Communications and Technology Committee.
Ryan lives in West Hempfield, Lancaster County, with his wife, Kate, a teacher at Mt. Calvary Christian School, and their two children, Jack and June.
As executive vice president, chief policy officer, and head of strategic advocacy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Neil Bradley is responsible for the organization’s overall advocacy efforts.

Rep. Mike Schlossberg, D-Lehigh, is committed to a strong and vibrant Pennsylvania serving the best interests of people, not special interests. He knows what we all know: Pennsylvania works best when workers are paid a fair wage, have good health care, live in a safe and affordable home, and can save some money for education and a secure retirement.
Representative Schlossberg is a champion for world-class education, regardless of zip code, for all our children through early childhood learning, neighborhood schools and career, technical and higher education.
For the 2025-26 Legislative Session, he was elected Majority Caucus Whip by his colleagues and continues to serve as a co-chair for the House Mental Health Caucus. In prior sessions, Representative Schlossberg was the Majority Caucus Chair, Democratic Caucus Administrator, and Chair of the Northeast Regional Delegation.
In prior sessions, Representative Schlossberg’s proposals to increase mental health services for first responders and Rape Survivor Child Custody and Support legislation were also approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Tom Wolf. He was also instrumental in the transportation funding legislation approved during the 2013-2014 Legislative Session and signed by Governor Tom Corbett, helping to secure significant investments for the Lehigh Valley’s roads, bridges and mass transit.
In 2015, Representative Schlossberg co-founded the House Mental Health Caucus, served as a keynote speaker at various conferences, advanced legislation in the General Assembly, and has traveled to Washington, D.C. to help Congresswoman Susan Wild’s efforts to enact federal legislation to improve mental health care access across the country. Representative Schlossberg was also appointed to the Mental Health & Justice Advisory Committee for the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and was named co-chair of the Suicide Prevention Task Force by Governor Wolf. Recently, Schlossberg accepted an invitation to join the National Task Force on Workforce Mental Health Policy at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Representative Schlossberg’s wife, Brenna Schlossberg, is a teacher in the Allentown School District. They have a son in middle school and a daughter in elementary school. The family is complete with rescue dogs, Lexi and Chrissy.
