Kim Kohlhepp has officially announced her intention to run for Pennsylvania State Representative in the 75th Legislative District, positioning her campaign around a message of action, advocacy, and community connection.

In her announcement, Kohlhepp emphasized the need for more proactive leadership in Harrisburg — leadership that doesn’t wait for problems to grow before addressing them.

“We need to take control of our own future and step up to guide the growth we want for ourselves,” Kohlhepp said. “It’s time to act.”

A Platform Focused On Families, Communities, And Growth

Kohlhepp’s campaign centers on issues that resonate across much of rural and small-town Pennsylvania, particularly in the 75th District, which includes parts of Clearfield, Elk, and Jefferson counties.

Among her stated priorities:

  • Advocating for hardworking Pennsylvania families by expanding access to affordable healthcare and education
  • Connecting communities through infrastructure investment, including improved and reliable cell phone service
  • Protecting and empowering small businesses and local industries, recognizing their role as the backbone of the regional economy

Rather than focusing on ideology, Kohlhepp’s message frames public service as a practical responsibility — one rooted in listening, problem-solving, and ensuring communities are equipped to thrive.

Infrastructure And Connectivity As Economic Drivers

One recurring theme in Kohlhepp’s campaign messaging is the importance of modern infrastructure, particularly in rural areas that have long struggled with inconsistent broadband and cell service.

Reliable connectivity, she argues, isn’t just a convenience — it’s essential for public safety, education, healthcare access, and economic development.

Looking Ahead To 2026

Kohlhepp is seeking to earn voters’ support in the November 3, 2026 general election, and says additional details about her campaign will be shared in the months ahead.

For now, her message is clear: representation should be active, visible, and focused on building a future that reflects the needs of the people who live and work in the district.

“I hope to earn your vote,” Kohlhepp said, “and the opportunity to advocate for our communities in Harrisburg.”
