“My name is Jeremy Benscoter. I grew up in the 117th district. I lived in Hunlock Creek, went to Hunlock Creek Elementary, and graduated from Northwest Area High School. I worked through college and graduated with a BS in Computer Science from Bloomsburg University. I come from a family that struggled to put food on the table and had little in the way of disposable income. I know how a small increase in your utilities can have a huge impact on your day to day. I have spent my whole life in Hunlock Creek and have seen the changes that have happened over the years.”
(Campaign website) “Today, I work in technology. I have been a programmer for over 15 years and have a wide knowledge of the tech industry, its successes and its failures. I currently work as Director of Information Technology overseeing a small, privately owned company in Pittsburgh. The website you are browsing was created by and is managed by me.”
(Campaign website) “I am an avid DIY-er. I can frame walls, run electrical, fix plumbing, etc. I love building and improving things, oftentimes marrying technology with classic fundamentals. I have a ton of hobbies and keep myself busy, but when I am not working, I am usually spending time with my family or gaming (or both!).”
(Campaign website)TL;DR about me: “I understand that technology is ever-changing. I will fight to protect us from corporations that want to impose their expenses on us and take people’s homes. I want to make sure that the data centers that are popping up across PA pay their fair share in utilities and don’t pass it on to the rest of us. Just like you, I am tired of seeing my electric bill go up every year.”

Get Involved: ““My priorities as your State Representative have been born from conversations I’ve had with constituents throughout the 117 th district over the past 2 years. No longer can we elect hypocritical leaders that place us in debt with irresponsible votes to satisfy agendas which do not reflect our most important needs and priorities. When I get to Harrisburg, the following will be my top priorities"”
