Results matter, but so does showing up.

In 2022, history was made when Alec Ryncavage became the first Republican ever elected to represent the 119th District in the State House, flipping the seat red and showing that hard work, accessibility, and delivering results can grow support across every corner of the district.

Over the last four years, Alec’s office has delivered over $20 million in grants back to local communities while helping move major projects forward across the district.

Whether it’s launching the West Side Regional Police Department to strengthen public safety, helping connect the dots on projects like Dale Drive Bridge, Lee Road, and major infrastructure improvements, or simply being present in the community, Alec has always believed the job starts with showing up.

An example: Route 309 going up and down to Mountain Top: Alec has worked very hard with PennDot to constantly improve this road. Hazards for many years have been fixed under the leadership of Alec!

You’ll see Alec just about everywhere. Parades. Senior expos. Community events. Even 100th birthday celebrations.

Accessible. Approachable. Rolling up his sleeves and doing the work.

Tyler Meyers: veteran, father, and Christian conservative. I will ALWAYS defend your right to protect what matters most. I will fight to restore your right to do so without state infringement.
I believe in the sanctity of life and will protect life while in office. We need to respect life and not glorify death.

I'm in this race to fight for We the People, not the radical left foreign interests that infiltrated our legislature.
In order to restore affordability, protect our liberties, and preserve the sanctity of life & our Constitution, we need bold fighters in Harrisburg, who aren't afraid to stand for what's right.
There is no middle ground when it comes to our constitutional rights!

The Pennsylvania Fi****ms Association has released its official ratings for the upcoming primary, and the choice in Senate District 20 is clear:
I am proud to announce that I have received the highest possible rating (Aq) for a non-incumbent candidate after submitting a 100% pro-gun survey.

This means the PFA recognizes me as the strongest, most reliable champion who will fight for our Second Amendment rights in Harrisburg.
As a United States Army veteran and a lifelong defender of the Second Amendment, I will fight every single day to fully restore and protect our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
I will work to pass Constitutional Carry, ban all Red Flag laws, and push for the Second Amendment Protection Act so no politician can ever disarm law-abiding Pennsylvanians without full due process.
