For the last twenty years, Tricia has served two significant employers in Warren. She has vast experience with fiscal management and budgeting.

People in finance need to know more than just about the numbers – when you teach people accountability, they want to succeed. The financial departments are more about helping success of the company’s programs and people – if you help them succeed, financial rewards tend to follow.

For ten years, Tricia has served on the voluntary board of the Redevelopment Authority for the City of Warren, where she used an unbiased approach to the City, home owners, and developers, for the best interest of the community. She also supported leadership and provided job training for county residents, including literacy and basic job skills.

In addition to the RDA, Tricia also has served on many other boards and committees. She organizes and volunteers for many fundraiser such as the Kinzua Classic. She’s a regular volunteer for Zonta’s Bundle Up Days, taking needy children shopping for winter clothing, as well as their Lucky Numbers events.

Ben is serving his first term as Commissioner and, therefore, brings continuity and firsthand knowledge of all the job requirements.  

Ben is the only Commissioner in Warren County to ever earn the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania Certificate of Excellence in County Government. Furthermore, his degrees in government and economics are relevant to the job.

A natural networker, Ben knows many of the municipal government officials, and in 2015 was endorsed by the Republican elected officials representing Warren County, including Rep. Kathy Rapp, Sen. Scott Hutchinson, Congress Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson, Senator Pat Toomey and former Senator Rick Santorum, most of whom he counts as his close friends and counselors. 

As a first responder/firefighter, Ben can speak knowledgeably about the emergency services – one of the key areas of County operations. He is also certified in relevant areas of Incident Command and Emergency Operations, which is important as the Chairman Commissioner is in charge of large-scale incidents.
