About Brian Ellis
State Rep. Brian Ellis has the hometown values, real-life experience, and fresh new outlook to help Butler County thrive again. As a husband, father and small business owner, Brian fights every day to bring more jobs to our region so families can afford to stay here. He remembers the Butler County of his childhood and wants to make sure our kids grow up in the same kind of place: Where family values matter, hard work pays off, and government stays out of the way.
A Family Businessman and Proven Job Creator
Working through his own family business, Brian created more than 60 new jobs in our area. He knows that employers and dedicated, trained workers create good-paying jobs-not the government.
That’s why Brian is using his entrepreneurial experience as one of Harrisburg’s leading voices for more jobs and lower taxes. Through his service on the Commerce, Finance, and Appropriations committees, Brian has earned as reputation as a go-to source for economic policymaking in the Capitol.
Brian has voted against all of Governor Rendell’s bloated state budgets, and he’s kept a pre-election promise to vote against every tax hike, every time. Through Brian’s leadership as a co-sponsor of the Keystone Manufacturing Initiative, businesses are encountering less red tape. But there’s still more work to be done, and it requires the expertise of a businessman.
That’s why fellow business owners trust Brian Ellis to restore our economy, and it’s why he has consistently earned support from Pennsylvania’s top job growth advocates.
