A major shakeup is coming in the Pennsylvania State Senate.

Senator-Elect Dave McCormick named State Senator and Republican Whip Ryan Aument (R-Lancaster) as his State Director, the first staffing announcement McCormick has made since being elected to the U.S. Senate.

“I am thrilled that State Senator Ryan Aument has agreed to serve as State Director in my new Senate office,” said Senator-Elect McCormick in a press release. “A fellow Army veteran, Ryan has been a fantastic representative for the constituents of Lancaster and whip for the Republican Majority, and I am so grateful that he will bring his deep experience serving the people of Pennsylvania to this new role.

“As State Director, Ryan will oversee our official Senate offices all over the Keystone State, ensuring that we deliver impeccable constituent services and continue to build and strengthen our deep relationships with Pennsylvanians in all corners of the commonwealth,” concluded McCormick.

“I am grateful to Senator-Elect McCormick for the trust he’s placed in me,” said Aument in a prepared statement. “It has been an honor to serve in the State Senate, and I am looking forward to continuing to serve the people of Pennsylvania in this new, important role. Senator-Elect McCormick is going to be a principled, dedicated, hard-working leader for our commonwealth, and I’m excited to get to work supporting his efforts!”

Aument, 47, is a graduate of The Citadel and served as a U.S. Army captain in Operation Iraqi Freedom prior to running for office. He won a seat on the Quarryville Borough Council before winning office as Lancaster County Clerk of Courts. Aument won two terms in the State House and two in the State Senate, where he served as majority whip and the chair of the Senate Education Committee

He told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he expects to resign his seat just prior to McCormick taking office and that his team will keep the 36th District office staffed through the transition.

Both of Pennsylvania’s senators have offices in four cities around the Commonwealth – Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Erie and Harrisburg. Sen. Bob Casey has additional offices in Allentown, Scranton and State College, while Sen. John Fetterman has another office in Wilkes-Barre.

A special election will be required to fill out the remainder of Aument’s term that runs through 2026. The last special election to replace a state senate vacancy was in January 2023 when Sen. Lynda Schlegel Culver defeated Patricia Lawton for the 27th District seat.

The 36th senatorial district consists of the townships of Conoy, Earl, East Donegal, East Hempfield, Elizabeth, Ephrata, Manheim, Mount Joy, Penn, Rapho, Warwick, West Donegal, West Earl and West Hempfield and the boroughs of Akron, Columbia, East Petersburg, Elizabethtown, Ephrata, Lititz, Manheim, Marietta, Mount Joy, Mountville and New Holland.
