Scott Perry, U.S. Representative, brings a unique background of hard work, small business, military leadership and community involvement to the U.S. House of Representatives. He earned the privilege of serving as the Congressman from Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District (York, Adams & part Cumberland) in 2013. He earned re-election to the newly-redistricted 10th District (Dauphin, part York, and part Cumberland) in 2018. 2020, 2022 and 2024.
Perry served three terms as a Pennsylvania State Representative, where he established a record for protecting Taxpayers’ interests in Harrisburg.
Perry knows the importance of hard work and dedication. He’s the grandson of Colombian immigrants, and the son of a single mom who fled abuse and worked several jobs to survive and support her children – with whom she finally landed in Pennsylvania in their first home on Berryhill Street in Harrisburg, then in Dillsburg.
Perry enlisted in the Army in 1980, attending basic training at Fort Dix, NJ, and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Belvoir, VA as a technical drafting specialist. Perry earned promotion to the rank of Brigadier General in 2014, and served as Assistant Division Commander of the 28th Infantry Division – the Army’s oldest, actively serving Division. After serving in his final position of Assistant Adjutant General, General Perry retired on 1 March 2019, upon nearly 40 years of military service.
Scott and his wife, Christy, are the proud parents of two daughters.
Please note that admission to the workshops is INCLUDED in the conference registration fee and no additional registration is required. A complete description of each workshop along with information on the workshop presenters is available at www.paleadershipconference.org.
