Jeff Coleman for PA Lieutenant Governor

“Jeff Coleman’s message is right for this moment. He’s arguing that civil debate—rooted in conservative principles—is the best way for Republicans to win elections and ultimately govern. He’s right. I’ve known Jeff for almost two decades. I enthusiastically endorse his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor.”

Sen. Pat Toomey

“I met Jeff Coleman 25 years ago as a campaign volunteer, and came to know and respect him as a member of my Senate team and State Representative. He’s hard working, principled and genuinely loves people. I’m glad he’s returning to the arena as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Jeff is the kind of innovative, conservative leader Pennsylvania needs.”

Sen. Rick Santorum

“I know that because Jeff is grounded in his faith, he’ll restore a much needed civil tone to state government. He’s a principled problem-solver who has always put people above politics. In a time of division, we need leaders like Jeff who can bring people together.”

Congressman G.T. Thompson

Centre County

“Jeff Coleman has a stellar record of building bipartisan coalitions and has the highest regard and respect for the institution of public service. I highly recommend and endorse my friend, Jeff Coleman, as Pennsylvania’s next Lieutenant Governor.”

Senator Camera Bartolotta

(R-46)

“My friend, Jeff Coleman, is running for Lieutenant Governor – a position that most use as a stepping stone, but Jeff is different. Lieutenant Governor is his platform – it affords him the opportunity to present, and live, an example of civility, if imperfectly, in an uncivil public square.”

Commissioner Ben Kafferlin

Warren County

“Jeff is a trustworthy statesman who will work diligently with all of our elected officials to improve the business and education climate in Pennsylvania. We must stop the outward migration of our young people in Pennsylvania, and Jeff will lead this effort with his ingenuity and enthusiasm.”

Hon. Rod Wilt

Mercer County

“Jeff Coleman has demonstrated that he can govern conservatively and effectively. More importantly in today’s political climate, he is running a campaign based on civility and respect – traits we all wish our politicians had. For these reasons and others, I am proud to support Jeff Coleman for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor.”

Rep. John Hershey

Lewistown

“I am lending my full-throated support to Jeff’s candidacy due to our shared vision of making a commitment to being a practitioner of functional government and working across the aisle to advance meaningful public policy…he is the only candidate who I know will continue to build upon my recent efforts to bring about wholesale criminal justice/executive clemency reform.”

Brandon Flood

Former PA Board of Pardons Secretary

“Jeff Coleman is a genuine leader with a true and positive vision for our future.  I’ve known Jeff for over 20 years and am amazed by his work ethic, selflessness and authentic approach to solving real problems for real people.” 

Senator Joe Pittman

Indiana County

“I met Jeff in the 90s when we were students at Liberty University. I was struck by his passion and kindness back then, and I’m refreshed by it even more right now, especially his approach to politics. Fighting for conservative ideals in a way that’s free of insults and name calling is rare to find! Jeff’s approach is refreshing, which is why I’m proud to support his campaign.”

David Benham

Entrepreneur, TV Personality

“I am starting this new year by endorsing your campaign to be our Lieutenant Governor.  As the Republican Chairman of Indiana County, I encourage the voters of Indiana County and across our Commonwealth to support Jeff’s candidacy.  In our current political climate of suspicion and disrespect, Jeff Coleman will restore confidence in our Commonwealth’s ability to move forward together.”

Randy Degenkolb

Chairman, Indiana County GOP

“Of the many admirable people I have worked with over 50 years in politics, there is no one I admire more than Jeff Coleman.”

Hon. Bill Scranton

Former Lieutenant Governor

“I’ve known Jeff and Rebecca for over 15 years and know that Jeff’s brand of civil debate and discourse is from his head and heart. Pennsylvania’s next Republican governor will have a partner who is a good listener and a sincere, knowledgeable advisor. Jeff is prepared for this job like few others. I’m excited to be on his team!

Glen Meakem

Veteran/Entrepreneur/Civic Leader

“The number one quality I’m looking for in a leader is authenticity, and there is no one more authentic than Jeff Coleman. I have never been more excited about a candidate or a campaign and when you spend a few minutes with this great man in person or through his campaign materials, you’ll know why.”  

Rep. Jesse Topper

Bedford

“It is a pleasure to support Jeff Coleman’s candidacy for Lt. Governor. He is a man of principle who understands that politics is about shared values and ideals. Jeff will provide the leadership necessary to move Pennsylvania forward.” 

Hon. Dick Stevenson

Grove City

I’ve been asked many times to endorse candidates, but always declined. When I learned that Jeff was running for lieutenant governor, I reached out and asked what I could do to help. He’s one of the very few people I’ve ever met who I would endorse with 100% certainty that he was the right person for the job. Please, join me in my support for Jeff Coleman—one of the most qualified candidates (most importantly nicest people) you’d ever meet! 

Ed Hanna

Lehigh Valley TV Personality

Jeff Coleman has been a friend and mentor for over 10 years.  He’s passionate about people, conservative ideas, and getting results.  I have tremendous admiration for his faith, his devotion to family, and his commitment to decency and integrity.  He will be an outstanding partner for our next governor and he will be a terrific Lt. Governor for all Pennsylvanians.

Jeff was elected to the PA House the same year as myself in 2000. I’ve always been impressed with his ability to speak from the heart and bring people together.

Hon. John Evans

As I entered the political arena as a rookie, it was a blessing to have Jeff Coleman in my corner. He put together a plan that highlighted my strengths and community service. We delivered a knockout and won the 123rd seat after 52 years in the other corner! I can’t wait to see him back in the ring as our next Lieutenant Governor. 

Rep. Tim Twardzik

Frackville

Jeff Coleman exemplifies the grace, class, and thoughtful leadership so evidently absent from our society and our government today. In an era where we have witnessed the worst of politics’ selfish underbelly, Jeff reminds us of what our politics can aspire to be, providing a renewed hope that our best days are still ahead. The Lieutenant Governor’s office is uniquely positioned to be a catalyst for change in both our politics and our communities. Deeply respected by those of all political backgrounds, Jeff Coleman is the leader that rises to meet this moment.

Sam Chen

Jeff Coleman is a bright, creative and tempered leader. His common sense conservatism, and his skill in communicating the tenets of an opportunity society would make him a valuable ally for any Governor.

Sen. Scott Hutchinson

Oil City

Our politics today are lacking in a simple concept and that concept is statesmanship. Jeff Coleman uniquely embodies genuine statesmanship and his presence on the campaign trail and in the LG’s office will be a game changer for messaging conservative ideals.

Rep. Andrew Lewis

I’ve known Jeff Coleman for 14 years, and have worked alongside him on political and policy issues. He consistently brings creativity, clear vision, and messaging skills. It’s clear to me that he possesses both the leadership and civility to do the job.

In the midst of this turbulent period in our history, Jeff Coleman brings clarity and reason to public debate.  He’s the right leader at the right time for our Commonwealth.

Hon. John Eichelberger

I want Republicans to win, and that means picking leaders who bring their head and heart into the battle for ideas. My good friend, Jeff Coleman, has the best of both. I know he’ll be an effective partner for the next Republican Governor.

Rep. Greg Rothman

Cumberland County

Both those who meet Jeff Coleman for the first time and those who have known him for decades – like me – discover the same thing: he genuinely cares for people. It’s not an act, it’s a deep conviction Jeff holds that every human being has innate dignity and value, whatever their station in life or circumstance that has befallen them. It is this quality – beyond his excellent policy positions and persuasive communications skills – that causes me to unwaveringly support his candidacy for Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor.

Michael Geer

Pro-Family Leader

In a time when we need statesman and civility, Jeff’s style of positive, pragmatic, policy-oriented leadership is the breath of fresh air for all of us.

Hon. Dave Reed

Former House Majority Leader

Jeff Coleman is a Republican that all of us can vote for. In this time of hyper partisanship, Jeff’s voice of civility rises above all others.

Jeff has been my friend and advisor. He is a great husband and father. Jeff understands that each person has dignity. He sincerely wants the best for each of Pennsylvania’s citizens. I am truly honored to know him.

Hon. Mike Turzai

Jeff Coleman is the exact person we need during this divisive time in our Commonwealth’s political arena.  His thoughtful and genuinely caring approach to problem solving will move our state beyond partisan bickering in order to deliver results for all Pennsylvanians.  Jeff will be an example to all that there remains a place for civility in politics. He is a friend and a mentor and I am honored to support him as the next Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania.

Rep. Tim O’Neal

Washington County

Jeff is an ideas guy who isn’t afraid to think outside the box to solve the problems facing everyday Pennsylvanians. He’s a conservative who is willing to work with any Pennsylvanian willing to expand opportunity. From Philadelphia, to Wayne to Mercer to Bedford counties, Jeff’s ideas will make Pennsylvania a better place.

Jeff Coleman offers a return to fiscal sanity and good government.

Senator Kim Ward

Senate Majority Leader

Jeff Coleman’s quality of leadership—thoughtful, humane, and inclusive—is exactly what Pennsylvania needs and deserves.

David Taylor

Manufacturing Leader

I am encouraged and supportive of Jeff’s decision to pursue the candidacy of PA Lieutenant Governor. He knows history and the significance of Pennsylvania as the Keystone State, and Penn’s “Holy Experiment in Freedom”.  Jeff’s ability to articulate those values, and to conduct himself with honor—genuinely respecting the views of others—are all characteristics so needed today both out of office and certainly in public office.

Hon. Sam Rohrer

Berks County

I’ve worked alongside Jeff  for almost twenty years as a friend and trusted ally. He’s one of Pennsylvania’s most effective communicators and strategic thinkers.

Matt Brouillette

Conservative Leader

I’m so pumped to hear that Jeff is getting back into politics, and can’t wait for the opportunity to work with him. He set the tone for the type of man I needed to be if I was going to be in Harrisburg, and for that, I’m grateful. I so very proud to call him a friend and brother.

Rep. Jim Rigby

Johnstown

Jeff Coleman was an early mentor of mine. I started my career as an intern in his district office when he was State Representative. He served the residents of Armstrong County well, positioning the area for growth and revitalization. His talents would benefit the Commonwealth. I completely support his campaign for Lieutenant Governor.

Rep. Abby Major

Armstrong County

I don’t know of another person who embodies civility to the degree of Jeff Coleman, nor do I hold anyone in higher esteem for the example he sets in what civility in government could and should be.”

Nick DiFrancesco

Former Dauphin County Commissioner

Jeff’s candidacy brings back much needed statesmanship and a real connection with voters. He has a winning combination.

Hon. Joe Scarnati

Former Lt. Governor

Both as a friend and a small businessman, Jeff is an inspiration. His innate sense of kindness, honesty, and others-centered focus is a breath of fresh air for Pennsylvania politics. His policy insight and fair minded leadership is exactly what we need in elected office, right now.

Hon. Rob Mercuri

Coleman for PA Co-Chair

Jeff has been an effective advocate for justice, opportunity, and equality. I especially appreciate Jeff’s thoughtful leadership—seeking out differing perspectives, weighing alternatives, considering outcomes, and developing solutions. Join me in voting for Jeff Coleman for Pennsylvania’s next Lieutenant Governor.

Betsy Snook RN M.Ed

Health Care Leader

I know Jeff as someone who is caring, sincere, and deeply principled. He’s not running for Lieutenant Governor to be somebody, but to serve and lift up others. I hope people will listen to his message. It has the potential of giving so many disillusioned citizens a reason to vote.
