6th Congressional District - Ryan Costello

Congressman Ryan A. Costello was elected to serve the people of the Sixth District of Pennsylvania in November 2014. As a freshman member, he serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, as well as the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Ryan is a life-long resident of Chester County, where he lives with his wife, Christine, and their son, Ryan Jr. A graduate of Owen J. Roberts High School in Pottstown, Ryan earned his undergraduate degree from Ursinus College in Collegeville and his J.D. from the Villanova University School of Law. Prior to winning election to Congress, Ryan served the residents of Chester County as the Recorder of Deeds and on the Board of Commissioners. He was selected chairman of the Board of Commissioners in 2013. While still in law school, Ryan won a seat on the East Vincent Township Board of Supervisors, serving as Chairman for four years. Since arriving in Congress in January 2015, Ryan has made an immediate impact in several areas, including returning control over education policy to parents and teachers, rolling back job-killing taxes on Pennsylvania’s life sciences innovators, and fighting for Pennsylvania workers and families to keep and maintain quality health coverage. In addition, in his first year in office, Ryan re-established the House Land Conservation Caucus to promote the preservation and protection of our country’s scenic open spaces and supported efforts to extend and make permanent the conservation easement tax incentive.
