Who better to represent the hardworking people of central Pennsylvania than a blue-collar student of the law?

Meet Zach “Wome” Womer.

Wome is a 12th-generation central Pennsylvanian. His ancestors worked in the coal mines of the Moshannon Valley. He was the first person in his family to earn a college diploma. Before and while attending Denison University, he worked construction. After college, he became a law student at Pennsylvania State Law. While attending law school, he has served on the Centre County Mental Health, Intellectual Disability, and Early Intervention Advisory Board. His writing has been featured in various local and national newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, the Centre Daily Times, the Penn Capital-Star, and more. His decision to run for Congress was prompted by the economic degradation of central Pennsylvania, his Methodist directive to serve ALL people, and his passion for supporting the people who helped him get where he is today.
