JUSTIN PAK FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Focused On You.

Not Politics.

“I’m a young husband, a father of two kids in our public schools, and a small businessman. I worry about providing for my family and for my kids’ future. 

One thing I know for sure: the politicians in Harrisburg on both sides of the aisle aren’t doing their jobs and – together – it’s time for us to change that. No politics. No partisanship. Just people working together.

I want to be your State Representative to focus on one thing: making life better for you.”

JUSTIN PAK FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Justin Pak is exactly who we all say we want for office today: the concerned parent down the street, not a politician.  He is not beholden to political party or special interests – but instead focused solely on helping his neighbors and doing what’s right on the issues that affect us all.

Why? Because Justin is like so many of us.  He’s a young husband and father of two children in our public schools. He’s a small business owner working hard to support his family. He’s a homeowner who moved to our community for the good schools, unique natural assets, and special quality of life. 

And – like us – he wants our leaders to do the things that will help everyone, protect our community, and ensure a stronger future for our kids. He also wants to show his own children that making a difference means standing up.

That’s why he is running for State Representative: to bring non-partisan, people-focused leadership to Harrisburg, finally get things done, and show our next generation that they, too, can be leaders. 

CONTRIBUTE

Contribute today to help Justin fight for lower costs, better schools, and a government that actually works for the people it represents.

Solutions Focused On You.

Not Politics.

Justin doesn’t care where an idea comes from – left, right or middle – he just cares if it will meet the simple goal of doing more to help you. That is why, in Harrisburg, he will work to build coalitions around ideas, not political parties – so we can bring people together to finally take action that makes a positive difference.

MAKING LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE

Justin knows that all of us – from single workers to growing families to retired seniors – are finding it harder to get by. That’s why he will work to make life a little easier by doing the things that save us money. 

He’ll bring common-sense fiscal discipline to the budget to make it focus on our priorities, especially education, public safety, and job creation. Then he’ll fight for smart policies that help reduce energy costs for consumers, combat rising housing and rent costs, and ease the burden of property taxes.

Improving the Healthcare System

Justin shares our concerns over the rising cost of healthcare and, as hospital closings in neighboring communities show, a loss of healthcare access and availability.

To combat these challenges, Justin will support a comprehensive approach that harnesses new technologies, helps hospitals and doctors stay in PA, and stands up to big insurance companies by increasing competition and customization.

Strengthening Education

As the parents of two young children, Justin and his wife are acutely aware of how education system works for kids — and how it can better for all our children.
 
To strengthen the education system, Justin will focus on investment, accountability, parental involvement, and providing unique opportunities to those who need them most. That means making education a priority in the state budget, ensuring students are proficient and performing at grade level, and making parents partners with teachers and administrators.
 
Justin is also passionate about removing individual screens from early childhood education so students are focused on learning core skills like writing, math, and reading in the way scientists and experience prove is best.  By removing reliance on personal electronic devices, we also protect kids from the dangers that personal electronic devices present. 

Attracting Good Jobs

As a small business owner and father, Justin wants the same thing as all of us: to achieve financial security for his family – and he knows that good-paying jobs are the key.

To keep and attract jobs to our community, he’ll focus on harnessing all of Pennsylvania’s resources – energy sources, institutions of higher learning and research, skilled trades, fantastic communities, and more – to make our state where employers know they need to be.

Then Justin will work to make Pennsylvania a more inviting place for employers by bringing our tax and regulatory systems in-line with the other states we’re competing with to attract jobs. He will also support a long-needed minimum wage increase to more accurately reflect today’s cost-of-living.

Keeping Communities & Families Safe

Justin believes we’re all lucky to live in an area where residents feel safe in their homes, schools, or out-and-about.

By bringing residents together with police, fire fighters, EMTs, and emergency preparedness experts – and fighting to provide the resources and training they need – Justin will make sure that our community stays safe for all of us.

Preserving Our Natural Heritage

Our area of Pennsylvania is one of the most beautiful in the state, with rolling farmland, natural waterways, and preserved open spaces. That’s one reason so many of us moved here, including Justin.

To ensure our natural heritage remains strong and preserved for future generations, Justin will work for solutions that continue successful programs like Growing Greener, improve our ability to protect air and water quality, and ensure development is smartly controlled.

Ending the Political Games & Partisanship

Justin is just as tired as the rest of us when it comes to the politicians trying to score political points instead of working together to accomplish positive results… trying to “win for their side” instead of win for us.

In Harrisburg, Justin will stand-up to the political bosses and special interests on both sides of the aisle to doggedly pursue common ground solutions to the common issues we face. Why? Because that’s how the system is supposed to work. And because that’s how Justin can get things done that help you.

Meet Justin Pak

Justin Pak was born in Philadelphia and raised across some of our area’s most layered, diverse
communities: Southwest Philly, Northwest Philly, Upper Darby, and Marple Township.
Those neighborhoods taught him something that only real-life can: how to listen to people whose lives look nothing like yours. He did not grow up in one bubble. He grew up in all of them.

He is the son of Korean immigrants who came to this country with nothing and built
something real through sheer determination. His parents showed him what perseverance and hard work really mean.

His grandmother was the “problem solver” for her fellow citizens during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the 1940’s – making sure people had what they needed when it was hardest to get. Her example has echoed through his family ever since, beseeching each future generation to do more to help others.

Justin took all these lessons with him into the real-world after college, starting his own business focused on helping seniors with healthcare issues despite hearing “don’t do it” from everyone around him and doing it anyway – because he has never been wired to sit something out.

He is a husband. He is the father of twins. Like every parent, he spends a lot of time thinking about what kind of world his kids are going to inherit. And like his parents, he wants to show his children that achieving things and being a leader mean standing up and doing the work.

Justin’s entry into public life was not strategic. He got concerned about the direction of his local school district, so he ran for school board. He did not win. But he learned. Specifically, he learned how government decisions get made quietly, behind closed doors, away from the people who are most affected.

That experience did not discourage him. It lit a fire. It lit a fire to do even more to help others. To bring government back into the daylight. To find common ground. To do the things that the politicians refuse to…but need to be done.

Justin’s campaign is grounded in a foundational belief: government exists to represent the
people. Not the party. Not the donor. The people.

He is nobody’s party line. He is the parent down the street who finally decided enough was enough with today’s political BS and it’s time to get things done again. That’s why we need him as our State Representative.
