Rep. Mustello running for reelection
State Rep. Marci Mustello, R-11th, said she is running for her third two-year term in office.
A county native and Butler Township resident, Mustello has served in the state House of Representatives since she won a special election in 2019.
“I am extremely proud to represent the 11th District and to make sure that our voices are heard in Harrisburg,” Mustello said. “There are tremendous challenges facing state government along with constant pressures that seek to fundamentally change how our democracy works.
“I stand steadfast in defending our democracy, the rule of law and promoting legislation and government practices that assure security, well-being and sustainability for our communities and our future.”
Mustello said she works hard to support businesses and cited a law, which she sponsored as a bill, that addresses transferring liquor licenses.
The legislation, which passed unanimously in the House and received one negative vote in the Senate, and was signed into law, allows license transfers to establishments that have received initial approval if the licensee cannot comply with requirements to receive operating authority if the request is accompanied by a surcharge.
“Maintaining an effective legislative office is paramount in connecting constituents with information and assisting them in navigating through the inherent red tape in the system,” Mustello said.
The 11th District includes Buffalo, Butler, Clearfield, Clinton, Donegal, Jefferson, Oakland, Summit, and Winfield townships and Butler, Chicora, East Butler and Saxonburg.
