For those who may not know me, My name is Bruce Carper. My whole life until recent years, I have lived in Beaver Falls Pennsylvania. I have spent my adult life taking care of my loved ones and my community. Through my work I have seen people burning the candle at both ends just to make sure that they and their families can be prosperous. Oftentimes, it feels like the system is holding working class people back, but I believe in a better future for Western Pennsylvania.
  • We need representatives at the state capitol who will not only listen to the experiences of their constituents but who have lived those experiences as well.
  • Our communities need tougher laws on drug companies and better funding to support families and patients in need.
  • A future where wages grow with the cost of goods, instead of leaving workers behind, a future that allows us to look forward with a gleam in our eyes instead of fear in our hearts.
*Crime & Gun Violence
  • Senior Care
  • Economic Growth
  • Min Wage
  • Small Businesses
  • Opioid & Drug epidemic
  • Children & Youth Mental Health
  • Teen & Adult Mental Health
We must have a State Representative who will Not only Listen but Hear, Feel and understand the struggles of this community. We need representatives that will take a moment to step back from politics, Humble themselves and remember that they are Humans as well. It is time for a Representative that not only hears about the struggle but who has lived and survived through the struggle. Our representation is not a game but a lifeline. That is why I am running for this seat.
I am ready to fight for the people of Our district and do the hard work to improve our quality of life. Holding our elected officials accountable and fighting for better representation will take all of us in tandem to build a better tomorrow. Good news for us, many of our community members are already doing the difficult work. Like my church member working on addiction step down programs and continued aftercare, or the newly elected leaders in Beaver Falls making sure that all community members are involved in the process. Democracy requires boots on the ground, and our community is already in position. It is time that our voices are heard not just at church on Sunday or in the breakroom on Wednesday but in Harrisburg every day.
The only job is to Bring back solutions from Harrisburg.
What I am is a Father that wants to set my Children up for success and leave them with more than memories but generational wealth as well.

Because it’s a story of breaking a Generational Curse. That’s exactly what needs to happen in Pennsylvania.

Party should never come over the Constituents, I am willing to work with anyone willing to work with me.
My focus is 2022 running this race until the End to become the next State Representative.
My family is entirely familiar with the devastating effects of the opioid epidemic. Year after year we have waited for our government to do something about it, anything,but still we wait. I am tired of the empty promises from our government, and I know that the people of Beaver County are exhausted as well. Our communities need tougher laws on drug companies and better funding to support families and patients in need.
How many fingers am I using right Now……?

None because I am typing with my Thumbs😂
In conjunction with the Governor
Although I’m running as a Democrat, I will do my best to represent all of my constituents. I vow to work with any Party member that is willing to work for Humane, Family and community oriented solutions.
