Abramovic announces reelection bid for Venango County Commissioner

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the residents of Venango County. I have worked hard to get Venango County on the map and at the forefront of conversations in the Commonwealth.” Commissioner Abramovic has been a staple in Venango County for the last 7 years. If there is an event benefiting an organization or the residents in the county, you can find him there.
​
He works daily to make sure that the needs of the County are met and will continue to do so.

During his tenure as Commissioner, Abramovic has not raised taxes for 7 years, and has worked to change the County pay schedule. He has worked tirelessly to save the County General Fund dollars by re-evaluating business practices and contracts, allowing for the County to not raise taxes and continue to have a high-quality work force.
​
During the COVID shut downs, he distributed over 2.8 million dollars to volunteer fire departments, non-profits, and local business to help them survive and continue serving our great community. Abramovic was also instrumental in the successful implementation of the largest vaccine clinic in western Pennsylvania, working closely with UPMC to bring the clinic to our region and administer over 50,000 vaccines. 

Abramovic has proven over the last 7 years that he will continue to do all he can to bring attention to the issues that are important to the residents of Venango County and has joined many organizations that can help him do just that.

Abramovic is currently serving as the President of the County Commissioner Association of Pennsylvania, a bipartisan organization representing all 67 Pennsylvania Counties. This is the first time a Venango County Commissioner has represented in this capacity in over 70 years. In addition, he was also recently appointed as Special Advisor to Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Initiatives, he is Chair of the Innovation Institute for Tomorrow, an organization that has given Venango County and regional high school students opportunities in robotics and the future of the workforce, and is the former Chair of the Northwest Commission, an eight county economic development organization.

He serves in all of these capacities as well as sitting on the boards of many
regional and statewide organizations that all help to benefit Venango County and draw attention to our regional needs.
​
“As a full time committed commissioner I have been able to work tirelessly for the residents I was elected to serve. I truly believe in the benefits of county government and there are great things happening. I have been working hard to remove barriers and create opportunities for members of the community and local industry. I am very thankful to have been given this opportunity to serve Venango County and we still have more work to do.”
