For those who don't know me, I'm Jerome J Lucchese and I am running as the America First candidate for the Republican Committee in Palmyra Township, Pike County PA. My friends call me Cooch.
Iam a retired Bronx Police Officer, worked in the music industry touring the world with Twisted Sister and many other artists. I still do voiceovers, graphic & video production to raise money for Shriner's Hospitals for Children for numerous international superstars such as Kid Rock, Foreigner, The Who, Disturbed, Korn, Breaking Benjamin, STYX, Nickelback, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Jason Aldean, Hank Williams Jr, Bryan Adams and more. I have traveled to South Korea to produce USU shows for our troops. I was a teacher of graphic design, video production, print & animation.
I donated the website & other print design projects to the Tafton Fire Company, where my father was the Fire Police Captain and my mother was a Fire Police Officer. I also donated a website to help local businesses with the Southern Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
In 2024 I started working for Scott Presler's Early Vote Action, registering voters all over Northeastern PA. You must have seen us all around Pike County with our red tablecloth registering voters. I worked for Trump Force 47 signing in VIPs & security. I even drove in President Trump's motorcade.
In 2025, myself and Gina Mancato won the Pennsylvania GOP contest for registering the most voters in Pike County, beating out the other 66 counties in Pennsylvania, resulting in the Pike County GOP being awarded $5000. We received a congratulations call from the Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman, Senator Greg Rothman. I ran for Auditor of Palmyra Township and won. Thank you to all who voted for me.
I strongly support all of our Constitutional Rights, especially our Second Amendment.
We need major change in the Pike County GOP. They have not had the Voter's best interest in mind and drop the ball constantly.
• We no longer have a Pike County GOP Office.
• Gina Mancato and I ran the GÓP booth at the GDS Fair for three years, not much help from the current
• The Pike County GOP doesn't hold any events for the candidates.
• The majority of the monthly meetings are canceled or people are shut out of meetings.
We will make sure that all of these concerns are addressed and handled properly.
My son Aidan X Lucchese, who is a Wallenpaupack graduate, is running as well as my mother, Mary M Lucchese. Two other America First candidates are Pat Lennon and Peg Geisel. If you vote for the five of us on May 19th 2026, we will swear our allegiance to the voters of Palmyra Township to greatly improve the Pike County GOP, year round, not just during election season.
This message is paid for by Me, Jerome J Lucchese
