Democratic State Rep. Joe Ciresi Seeks New Term In House In PA House of Representatives

HARRISBURG — Incumbent Democratic State Rep. Joe Ciresi is seeking a third term representing constituents of the 146th Legislative District in parts of western Montgomery County.

Ciresi announced this week that he had secured more than 800 voter signatures to appear on the May primary election ballot.

"Today marks the end of the petition period, and with your help we have succeeded yet again," Ciresi posted to his campaign Facebook page on Monday. "I would like to thank each and every one of you who signed my petition."

Ciresi said 36 individuals helped him to collect the more than 800 petition signatures in a 10-day period.

"Without the support of volunteers and my staff, none of this would have been possible," Ciresi stated. "So from the bottom of my heart, Thank You!"

Ciresi, who was first elected to the 146th Legislative District in 2018, previously worked as the sales and promotions director at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, according to his online biography.

He is also a former member of the Spring-Ford Area School Board in Montgomery County.

The 146th Legislative District includes certain municipalities in western and central Montgomery County, but as of the newest redistricting plan, it no longer includes Trappe Borough and Perkiomen Township, according to a report in The Mercury newspaper of Pottstown.

The district will now include the entirety of Pottstown Borough as well as West Pottsgrove, Lower Pottsgrove, Limerick and Royersford.
