Breene officially declares intent to seek reelection

SAM BREENE LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN FOR VENANGO COUNTY COMMISSIONER
 
Venango County – Today, Republican Sam Breene formally announced his campaign for a second term as Venango County Commissioner.
“Growing up in Venango County, I was raised with conservative principles and a deep commitment to our community.  These values have guided every decision I’ve made while serving Venango County the last three years and will inform every decision I make serving the people of Venango County going forward.  I’m proud of my record so far as Venango County Commissioner, but there is still work to be done to keep Venango County punching above its weight class.”

Breene says, not raising taxes, increasing wages for the lowest paid county employees, and building the county’s budget reserve are a few examples of promises he made during his first campaign that he has kept.  Leading the county’s grant program that distributed nearly $3 million to over 300 small businesses, non-profits, and volunteer fire departments in Venango County during the Wolf administration’s job-killing covid shutdown is one of Breene’s most important acts during his first term. 

Other accomplishments include creating the 911 Advisory Board which has increased communication and cooperation between first responders and their partners at Venango County 911.  Breene has also prioritized election integrity during a period of many changes to the state election code. 

Sam Breene, a lifelong resident of Venango County, is in the last year of his first term as County Commission and is a former staffer for Republican member of United States Congress, Mike Kelly.

“My goal is to be an accessible and accountable public servant who always puts Venango County and its tax-payers first.  I humbly ask for the opportunity to continue serving as your county commissioner.”
