Jon Lloyd

Jon moved to Pennsylvania in 2013 and quickly planted deep roots in the community he now proudly calls home. He and his wife, Nikki—married for 22 years—have raised three children in Bethel Park: Braden (21), a senior music education major at West Virginia University; Riley (18), a freshman psychology major at Gannon University; and Noah, a junior at Bethel Park High School.

A lifelong learner and advocate for public service, Jon studied trumpet performance at the University of North Carolina and later completed master’s-level work in organizational leadership at Trinity International University. His commitment to public education and youth programs runs deep, he served as President of the Bethel Park Music Boosters for two years, the largest booster organization in the district, following previous terms as Vice President and Secretary. Jon also stepped up to run for Mayor of Bethel Park, demonstrating his dedication to local leadership and problem-solving in a campaign that drew a record-breaking turnout from the community.

Professionally, Jon brings over two decades of experience in the technology sector, with a career spanning public, private, and nonprofit organizations. His background gives him a practical understanding of innovation, workforce needs, and the importance of responsible economic growth.

A Campaign Focused on Affordability and a Secure Future

Jon’s campaign centers on an issue he believes is defining the future of Pennsylvania: affordability. As the state legislature’s budget stalemate approached its fifth month, and Republican legislators attempted to cut off funding for healthcare and other essential programs, Jon watched families across District 40 struggle under the weight of rising costs.

“Pennsylvania is my home,” Jon said. “I’ve experienced financial instability myself. I know what it feels like when the cost of groceries climbs every week, when utility bills skyrocket, when healthcare feels out of reach, and when education and childcare costs squeeze families from every direction.”

Southwestern Pennsylvania families, he argues, are being asked to shoulder burdens they didn’t create. With AI data centers driving up energy demand and utility costs, Jon believes the state must ensure that corporations benefiting from Pennsylvania’s infrastructure pay their fair share, especially when those same companies are receiving generous tax breaks.

“We cannot build a strong future by letting working families fall behind while powerful corporations get preferential treatment,” Jon said. “My campaign is about restoring balance, protecting essential services, and making sure every family in District 40 can see a future here.”
