Victoria Schmotzer recently announced her candidacy for PA State Representative from the 38th Legislative District.

“We filed all the paperwork in Harrisburg and we are on the ballot,” said Schmotzer. “My team knocked on hundreds of doors and collected 653 Democratic signatures. We got over 150 signatures more than any other candidate.”

Victoria’s education and work experience lend themselves to the pressing issues of today. With a deep-rooted commitment to our communities, Victoria brings a vision and record of leadership to this Office.

“The next five weeks will be exciting and we are ready for the challenge,” Schmotzer says.

Victoria's platform is centered around key priorities identified by talking to residents of the district, as outlined on the campaign website (www.votersforvictoria.com): Term Limits, Higher Minimum Wage, Fight for Women’s Rights, Keep Children and Students Safe, Individualized Education Program (IEPs), Clean Air & Clean Water and Senior Citizen Services.

“The biggest problem is that all politicians want to do is get re-elected. The solution is Term Limits,” stated Schmotzer. “Every State Executive Office in the Commonwealth of PA is term limited. The Legislative Branch needs to follow suit. This will be the first bill I introduce in January 2025.”

A lifelong resident of Whitehall, Victoria graduated from Baldwin High School and The Catholic University of America with a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy from the St. Thomas Aquinas School of Philosophy and a Master’s Degree in Business from the Busch School of Business. Professionally, she has held roles as a Human Resources Specialist at the U.S. Small Business Administration (U.S. Government Level 5 Security Clearance), a Teacher in Early Childhood Development and a Staff Auditor at a CPA Firm.

Active in her community, Victoria was the youngest person ever elected to the PA State Democratic Committee and is currently the Elected Constable for Whitehall, where she supervises Deputies at each of the 16 Voting Districts to facilitate fair and impartial elections.

Victoria Schmotzer's candidacy represents a commitment to improving the lives of all residents. With her proven record of advocacy and unwavering commitment to public service, Victoria is ready to lead the 38th District to a brighter and more equitable future.
