Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A retired UPS executive overseeing security, crisis management, and public affairs for 6 states over 26 years, Ventre draws parallels to Trump, citing his NYC roots, executive experience, published books, and reality TV show. He’s served on local boards, including Juvenile Diabetes and the Economic Growth Connection, and was a Rotary Club President. “Resumes matter, and mine reflects decades of leadership and fits perfectly with the Lt Governor responsibilities of overseeing the senate, handling crises, and the patrol board”.

Ventre opposes progressive policies through his weekly Never Socialist newsletter.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Our governor has his eye on Pennsylvania Ave instead of PA state. He's spending 7% more than we take in. Job 1 is to control spending and address affordability. We need to reduce regulations and leverage our fossil fuels. We're the gateway to the expensive northeast yet we are a drive through state. We should be sucking jobs from NY, and NJ.Job 2 is to eliminate the 58-cent fuel tax which is regressive and adds to transportation costs and inflation. The $1.1B cost will come from improved efficiencies. This represents 2% of the budget yet we have increased spending 40% in the past 5 years. Freeze senior property taxes and eliminate property taxes for disabled vets.

We need real school choice. We have the 5th highest cost per student for public education at $25K, yet we are ranked #39 in the 3 R's. Private schools cost $8K less and produce better grades. All businesses outsource. We need to run the state like a business.Job 3 is election integrity. Act 77 must be repealed and replaced with voter ID. Satellite offices and sanctuary cities will be ended. Europe tried mail in ballots and 64% of countries eliminated it due to fraud.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm passionate about efficiency since I worked for "the tightest ship in the shipping industry", UPS. School choice and PA powering the world. I stand against almost everything progressives stand for. We will reinstate pro-life counseling centers and mothers must view a sonogram of the child.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

LifePac and PA Pro-Life Federation Pac.
