Result
State Rep. Ryan Warner (R-PA) won reelection to Pennsylvania State House District 52 in the Nov. 3 general election. Warner was the only named candidate on the ballot, allowing him to retain the Fayette County seat he already represented.
Candidates and platforms
Warner's positions come from his campaign website and a news release responding to the governor's budget proposal. Both are his own materials.
- Economy: His website says he supports policies to expand economic opportunity in the region, including support for Pennsylvania's energy and manufacturing sectors.
- Budget: Warner advocates fiscal responsibility and has repeatedly proposed a constitutional Taxpayer Protection Act intended to limit increases in state spending between budget years.
- Spending: In his response to Gov. Josh Shapiro's (D-PA) budget proposal, Warner criticized the proposed $53.26 billion spending plan. He argued that the governor's approach was fiscally irresponsible because it relied on spending beyond projected revenues, drawing on the state's Rainy Day Fund and proposed new revenue sources. Warner called for a budget that stays within available resources and promotes economic growth.
District and chamber
District 52 covers part of Fayette County, including Connellsville, Brownsville, Perryopolis and surrounding communities. Warner, a Republican first elected in 2014, is seeking another two-year term. His reelection maintains Republican control of the district.
Money, polling and endorsements
Campaign finance figures compiled from Pennsylvania Department of State filings through Oct. 19 show Warner raised approximately $49,200, spent $51,500, and reported $49,600 in cash on hand.
