“This November, Pennsylvania made historic decisions at the ballot box,” Bizzarro said in a news release. “This transition of power has been unlike any other, and ? quite frankly ? I have been disappointed in what has played out over the last couple months. I believe a more dignified and bipartisan solution was possible, but before today all we witnessed was sad attempts by Harrisburg Republicans to remain in power at whatever cost. I’m hopeful (Tuesday's) bipartisan action marked an end to some of those political games.” Read more
“I’m ready to work for all Pennsylvanians,” Bizzarro said, “and I know Speaker Rozzi – we came into the House together – and I know he has pledged to do the same.” Read more
“We have plenty of issues facing the nation and Pennsylvania. I think the people that elected us elected us to do a job that benefits them on a daily basis. Certainly, the monitoring and policing what’s on Tik Tok is probably not in their top priorities, but again if it’s something that the public thinks that we need to address, of course we’ll fix it,” said State Representative Ryan Bizzaro.

"If Harrisburg Republicans can’t find the fraud, I can’t imagine them finding the votes for this bill, as is, without it being part of a broader package of bills that would expand voting rights in Pennsylvania," Bizzarro said. Read more
“These grants will allow state money to create jobs here in Erie County, while also improving the efficiency of the supply chain, rail infrastructure and the efficiency at a new recycling plant,” Bizzarro said. “I’m pleased to see state money returning to Erie County where it will not only help our local communities but also the entire region.” Read more
“Working in the district attorney’s office, I saw first-hand how money approved by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency had a positive impact on victims, families and our community as a whole,” Bizzarro said. “I will always be a staunch advocate to bring this money back to our district – where it can bring about change.” Read more
“Veterans and their families have dutifully served, wherever and whenever they are called,” Bizzarro said. “It’s just one reason why I have written legislation and made a long-term commitment to support veterans and their families through my position in Harrisburg and here in Erie.” Read more
“I’m pleased to see the state once again step in to support and help strengthen the work of museums and organizations of historical importance in Erie County,” Bizzarro said. “This support will help to ensure the work being done in Erie County – including the creation of educational programs, on-hand exhibits, archives and more – will continue, and the programs offered at the Hagen History Center and expERIEnce Children’s Museum will continue to have a positive impact on Erie residents of all ages.” Read more
“Julia Hospice and Palliative Care reached out to my office to highlight Erie County’s need for an inpatient hospice care facility,” Bizzarro said. “They noted the transformation taking place in health care in recent years to provide quality services earlier in the process of treating serious illnesses. I was understandably moved by their vision – as anyone would be, especially those who have needed to secure hospice care for a loved one – and I’m thrilled with today’s news that will allow this project to move forward.” Read more

It’s also reassuring to know Erie’s private sector continues to step forward to be an active supporter in improving the lives of our neighbors, families and residents throughout the region,” Bizzarro said.

“Belle Valley had a specific need to purchase a reliable vehicle to transport first responders and equipment for medical assist calls so they could properly respond to life-and-death situations as quickly as possible,” Bizzarro said. “We can’t leave our local departments without the tools they need to effectively serve our community. While EMS companies and first responders across Pennsylvania have experienced serious obstacles, including a lack of funding, I was thankful to be able to step in to make certain Belle Valley received this much-needed funding.” Read more
“The great majority of my work in Harrisburg revolves around working and serving as our region’s biggest advocate,” Bizzarro said. “Many times, the difference between a project moving forward or stalling hinges on the approval of state dollars to bridge the gap between the planning stage and reality. In that regard, it’s extremely rewarding to see two more big-ticket projects earn the state funding they needed to progress and move forward.” Read more
“My office fought for funding for each of these projects, because they will have a direct and positive impact on the residents in our community,” Bizzarro said. “The Presque Isle Gateway District Plan, which we highlighted when the House Democratic Policy Committee toured Erie in August, will help revitalize businesses along the West 8th Street corridor. Funds will be used to improve access to the businesses located just up the road from the biggest tourism driver in the county – Presque Isle State Park." Read more
