About Ryan
| Ryan Warner serves as state representative for the 52nd Legislative District, which includes the northern half of Fayette County. As a strong voice for rural Pennsylvania, Ryan is focused on policies that grow economic opportunity for the region, including those that support the state’s energy and manufacturing sectors. He is a vocal advocate for fiscal responsibility in crafting the annual state budget and has repeatedly introduced legislation to implement the Taxpayer Protection Act, a measure that seeks to amend the state’s Constitution to limit spending growth from one budget year to the next. He supports legislation to ensure the integrity of our state’s elections, prevent local governments from declaring themselves as “sanctuaries” for illegal immigration, eliminate property taxes, provide quality education opportunities for all students, and protect public safety by supporting law enforcement and first responders. He is also an avid sportsman and supporter of the state’s top industry, agriculture. In the 2025-26 legislative session, Ryan serves on the following House committees: Appropriations, as Republican chairman of the Subcommittee on Fiscal Policy; Consumer Protection, Technology and Utilities; Energy; and Gaming Oversight. Prior to his election to state office, Ryan started working at a young age in a sawmill for the family logging business and then continued his career at Siemens Industry as a project controller. There, he controlled revenue and expenditures and managed projects to assure they were completed on time and within budget. He is also no stranger to the hardships faced by his neighbors and communities after his position was eliminated due to corporate downsizing. A native of Fayette County, Ryan and his family have been long-time members of the community, having operated a family farm and successful logging business. Ryan’s community involvement also includes volunteer work with the United Way, where he organized food drives and holiday gift giving, and as an officer with the Slovak Catholic Sokol Assembly 25. Ryan is a graduate of both Penn State University, where he earned a degree in Communications Arts and Science, and Frazier High School. The 52nd Legislative District includes the city of Connellsville; the townships of Brownsville, Bullskin, Connellsville, Dunbar, Franklin, Jefferson, Lower Tyrone, Luzerne, Perry, Redstone, Saltlick, Springfield, Stewart, Upper Tyrone and Washington; and the boroughs of Belle Vernon, Brownsville, Dawson, Dunbar, Everson, Fayette City, Newell, Ohiopyle, Perryopolis, Seven Springs (Fayette County Portion), South Connellsville and Vanderbilt. |
