Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Rachel Wallace was born and raised in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and is a proud graduate of Pottsville Area High School.

She has spent her career in public service. She started out working for her Congressman, Tim Holden, and went on to serve in the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Senate, and the White House, where she was Chief of Staff for the Office of Management and Budget. So she knows how the federal government works – and how it doesn’t.

Rachel moved home after her mom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease so she could be closer to her family, which has lived in Berks and Schuylkill counties for 10 generations. The daughter of a pastor and a nurse, Rachel lives in southern Schuylkill County with her husband and their dog.
