State Representative Joe Emrick, born and raised in Bangor, is running for re-election to Pennsylvania’s 137th State House District, emphasizing his record as an incumbent. His priorities include bolstering the economic well-being of working families. 

Emrick says he is focused on addressing the impact of inflation by advocating for energy policies related to gas prices. To address inflation, Emrick says he will resist harmful policies in Harrisburg and replace those policies with proposals that create well-paying jobs and foster economic development.

Emrick has been recognized as a Guardian of Small Business by the National Federation of Independent Business and he has received endorsements from various groups, including the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. 

Emrick holds a bachelor's degree in history and secondary education from Lycoming College and a master's degree in education from Kutztown University. He resides in Upper Nazareth Township with his wife, Christine, and their two daughters, Olivia and Zoey.
