Jacob Doyle "Jake" Corman III, of Centre County, was elected to the Senate of Pennsylvania in 1998 and is now serving his third consecutive term. Senator Corman represents the 34th senatorial district, which includes parts of Centre, Juniata, Mifflin, Perry and Union Counties.

Senator Corman is currently the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. He also serves as a member of the Banking and Insurance, Finance, Rules and Executive Nominations and State Government Committees.

After obtaining an Associates degree in Communications from The Pennsylvania College of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Pennsylvania State University, Senator Corman began his professional career as the Director of Field Services for the Pennsylvania State Builders Association. He later went on to become the State Director for United States Senator Rick Santorum.

These hands-on experiences in state and federal government have made Senator Corman one of the General Assembly's foremost authorities on public policy issues. He has put these resources to work as the former Majority Policy Chairman while quickly ascending the ranks of Senate Republican leadership.

Senator Corman has also worked to enact major government reforms such as the Right-to-Know Law, the Privacy and Security Legislative Act and the Mandate Waiver Program.

Senator Corman continues to advocate for ways to develop Pennsylvania's workforce and strengthen the state's economy. His steadfast commitment to revitalizing business and industry in the Commonwealth has resulted in the creation of thousands of jobs for working-class Pennsylvanians.

In addition, Senator Corman has played a leading role in shaping solutions to economic and health care issues in Pennsylvania. His leadership has resulted in increased access to the Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly (PACE) program for senior citizens

Senator Corman is married to Kelli Corman. They are the parents of three children, Isabella, Davis and Jacob Corman. Senator and Mrs. Corman reside in Benner Township, Centre County.
