State Rep. Doyle Heffley announced he will seek reelection in the 122nd Legislative District.

“Serving as state representative is one of the greatest honors of my life,” said Heffley. “As a Carbon County native, I am grateful to be the voice of my neighbors in Harrisburg, while demonstrating the work ethic our community offers.”

In the 2023-24 Legislative session, Heffley serves as chairman of the House Human Services Committee. In this position, he has led multiple committee hearings on the ongoing drug crisis including Fentanyl and Xylazine.

He recently introduced legislation that would enhance the scheduling of controlled substances in Pennsylvania.

Heffley aligns with the shared values of the residents in Carbon County.

During his tenure, he has refined the state pension program, helped increase funding to public schools, prioritized after-school programs and passed multiple pieces of legislation. As he achieved these goals, he ensured taxes were not increased for hardworking families.

After graduating from Lehighton Area High School, Heffley studied at Lincoln Technical Institute, where he received his associate degree in architectural drafting and design. He has nearly 20 years of private sector work experience, including 10 years in the trucking industry, both as a CDL truck driver and terminal manager.

As an active member in the community, Heffley attends Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Trachsville and is a member of several community-based and fraternal organizations. Heffley resides in Palmerton with his wife, Kellie. He is the proud father of two daughters, Angela and Elizabeth (wife of Joey Blose), and a proud grandfather to his granddaughter, Logan Marie.
