Perry A. Stambaugh (born March 8, 1960) is a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, District 86. He first took office following the 2020 Pennsylvania House of Representatives election.[2][3]

Stambaugh graduated from Penn State University and operates a family farm in Green Park in Perry County, Pennsylvania. He supports measures to improve deployment of high-speed Internet to rural areas, as well as state constitutional reforms, such as electing state appellate judges on a district (not statewide) basis and eliminating property taxes to fund schools.[4][5] He also backs state legislative and congressional term limits.[6]

Career

[edit]

Before running for the state House, Stambaugh spent most of his nearly 40-year professional career as a rural and agricultural magazine editor on local, statewide, and national levels—notably with the former Pennsylvania Farmer magazine (now American Agriculturist); Penn Lines magazine, published by the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association; and RE Magazine, produced by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.[7]

Stambaugh currently sits on the Commerce (as Republican secretary), Environmental Resources & Energy, Transportation, and Labor & Industry committees, including the Labor & Industry Employment and Unemployment Compensation Subcommittee.[8]
