Rep. Alec Ryncavage

Rep. Alec Ryncavage PA State Representative in the 119th District fighting for 13 towns and 65k residents across NEPA. Alec continues to reside in Plymouth Borough with his family.

At the youthful age of 21, Alec Ryncavage, of Plymouth, is honored to bring his unique experiences forging his own non-traditional pathway to define a new chapter for the people of the 119th Legislative District in Luzerne County and deliver prosperity for all of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Beginning his career as a freelance website developer in middle school and as a product of the interne

t age, Alec has dedicated his career to public service and entrepreneurship. First elected to public office at the age of 18, Alec spent his time outside of his technology business as a councilman for his hometown of Plymouth, where he led the revitalization of its historic downtown Main Street and was a fiscal watchdog. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alec was named to the Luzerne County COVID-19 Crisis Management Team to handle the strategic distribution of knowledge and resources across the 76 municipalities located in Luzerne County. Following his public high school graduation at Wyoming Valley West, Alec opted out of pursuing higher education as a leader to inspire other young people looking to disrupt the status quo. As a result, Alec founded a his own cybersecurity startup specializing in protecting small to medium organizations, like those located in his Luzerne County district, from foreign and domestic online threats. After raising nearly 2 million dollars in venture capital, he never lost touch to his roots or those who got him to where he is today. When offered to relocate to Silicon Valley, Alec stayed local to invest in our local coal region. Like many Pennsylvanian small towns, Alec has lived in a community stripped of its energy economy. No bigger impact on Alec's early years was witnessing his own family’s hardships, which motivates him to be a moderate voice and critical thinker to help working-class families and those living on fixed-incomes. Alec believes in cutting through partisan gridlock to make Pennsylvania more business friendly, empower our small municipalities by keeping our youth local, and deliver common-sense governing solutions that will directly benefit families across the Commonwealth.

After months of negotiations, and this time in fewer than 135 days, Pennsylvania has a state budget.

Gov. Shapiro’s original $53.3 billion budget proposal was negotiated down to $50.849 billion, limiting spending growth to approximately $1.8 billion, or 3.7%, over the current budget.

One of the biggest fiscal victories is that this budget preserves Pennsylvania’s Rainy Day Fund. Gov. Shapiro’s original proposal relied on nearly $4.6 billion from our emergency savings account, but the final agreement leaves those reserves untouched.

Like last year’s agreement, the budget is balanced through stronger-than-expected revenue growth and one-time adjustments rather than draining our savings.

Several issues that have been central to recent budget negotiations, including recreational ma*****na, skill games, and the minimum wage, were ultimately not addressed in this year’s budget agreement.

Gov. Shapiro secured his requested increase in education funding, while House and Senate Republicans secured a budget that preserves the Rainy Day Fund, avoids broad-based tax increases, protects charter schools and educational choice, and imposes no new taxes or mandates on businesses.

The agreement also includes, just to name a few:
• A historic COLA for Pre-Act 9 retired state employees and retired municipal police officers and firefighters.
• A new $775 million investment in rural roads and bridges, with nearly $50 million expected for PennDOT District 4, including Luzerne County.
• Chip-enabled SNAP cards to better protect recipients from fraud and theft.
• Reporting requirements for data center water and electricity usage.
• Stronger bonding and decommissioning standards for solar projects.

In Pennsylvania, the structural deficit remains a problem, but this budget prevents the worst-case scenario.

Rather than fully addressing Medicaid spending, this budget relies on a “Medicaid roll,” delaying payments to providers while reimbursing the interest they incur on the line of credit needed to operate. It closes this year’s budget but shifts costs into the future.

I was also disappointed that Gov. Shapiro chose not to opt Pennsylvania into the new federal scholarship tax credit program, missing an opportunity to expand educational opportunities for families while using federal incentives rather than additional state tax dollars.

This budget reflects where Pennsylvania is today, not where I believe we should ultimately be. We protected taxpayers from the worst outcomes in this negotiation, but there is still more work to do to put our Commonwealth on a truly sustainable fiscal path.

The 2026–27 state budget (HB2400) passed the House 167-35 and the Senate 44-6.

Congratulations to Fr. Jerry Gurka on 26 years of faithfully serving the communities of All Saints Parish and St John the Baptist Parish.

Wishing Fr. Jerry God’s continued blessings in his next chapter.

In a rare act, the PA House unanimously passed (202-0) what could become the largest tax cut in Pennsylvania history. Pennsylvanians have made clear that it’s time to act on rising utility bills, and HB 2224 would eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax currently built into your monthly electric bill, delivering an estimated $1.5 billion in energy savings directly into the pockets of families and businesses. The bill now heads to the PA Senate for consideration.

This September, Matthew Cooper, an incoming senior at Wyoming Valley West, will join me for a historic legislative session in Philadelphia commemorating America’s 250th birthday! This official House Session will take place at the same historic site where legislators gathered in 1776. Matthew was selected to participate after teachers and faculty from across the 119th District submitted nominations. He was chosen in recognition of his outstanding academic achievements. Congratulations, Matthew! 🇺🇸

E-bikes and e-scooters have become increasingly popular in our communities. Under current law, the use of personally owned e-scooters on public roadways and sidewalks is illegal.

Today, the House Transportation Committee held a hearing on legislation (such as HB1633 of 2025) that would seek to legalize commerical ride-share scooter services, as well as allow for personally owned electric scooters, in cities across our Commonwealth. If enacted, this legislation would apply to Nanticoke City here in the 119th District.

Memorial Day weekend had a little bit of everything. Ashley’s Memorial Day parade brought the community together and in Hanover Twp we joined Amvets Post 59 to pause and remember the men and women who gave everything for our country. Finishing up at Ashley American Legion Post 673 for lunch and a chance to catch up with a lot of familiar faces.

The parades and traditions we enjoy each Memorial Day exist because of the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we often take for granted. Each day I’ll continue doing my part to make sure the next generation never forgets.
