Republican Chesco Businessman Guy Ciarrocchi Runs For 6th District

CHESTER COUNTY— Guy Ciarrocchi is running full steam ahead as a Republican candidate for 6th Congressional District with the hope of unseating Democrat Rep. Chrissy Houlahan.

Ciarrocchi is one of four Republican candidates running for the 6th District, which includes all of Chester County and southeastern Berks County.

The other GOP candidates running are Ron Vogel, Malvern; Steve Fanelli, West Chester; and Regina Mauro, Devon.

Houlahan, an Air Force veteran, took office in January 2019. She is running unopposed.

Ciarrocchi, 57, and his wife, Chris, have three children, and reside in the Paoli neighborhood of Tredyffrin Township.

Ciarrocchi, CEO of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry, said he is running for office to speak out against the ever-growing, arrogant, and out-of-touch government to restore the promise of America.

“Everything seems to be going in the wrong direction,” Ciarrocchi said on his website.“But there is hope. I believe in the common sense of the people of our district and across America.”

Ciarrocchi is no stranger to working in government.

He was chief of staff to Lt. Governor Jim Cawley, U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, and State Sen. Melissa Hart.

He also served as the director of Affairs for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

In June 2005, Guy was appointed as Philadelphia regional director of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

He is a graduate of St. Joseph University and Villanova Law School.

Ciarrocchi had previously announced that he was running for governor, but dropped out of that race in February.
