Jesse Monoski
A Lemoyne council member has joined a quickly growing field seeking to become a state representative in the Harrisburg area.
Jesse Monoski today said that he planned to run in next year’s Democratic primary for the 103rd legislative district.
“The Harrisburg area is my home, and the residents and businesses within the 103rd district deserve strong, compassionate representation,” he said in a statement. “I am committed to leveraging my state and local experience to address the pressing issues facing our communities.”
Monoski has served on the Lemoyne borough council since January 2020. He works in the state Capitol as an executive director for the Pennsylvania State Senate Democratic Caucus.
The House seat is being vacated by long-time Rep. Patty Kim, who last month announced that she is running for the 15th state Senate district.
So far, at least two other Democrats have announced for Kim’s seat: Tina Nixon of Harrisburg and Camp Hill council member, Mercedes Evans.
The 103rd district encompasses about half of Harrisburg and the west shore communities of Lemoyne, Camp Hill, Wormleysburg and East Pennsboro Township.
The Pennsylvania primary is currently slated for April 23, after a recent attempt to move the date up appears to have failed. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 5.
According to Monoski’s announcement, he will focus on defending the state’s pro-choice laws, advocating for increased support for senior benefits programs, and fighting for more affordable, high-quality childcare.
“I am honored to embark on this journey to represent the people of the 103rd district,” he said. “Together, we can prioritize the needs and aspirations of every resident and fight for policies that address real issues facing working families.”
