Hugh Darlington
Service Before Politics.
Listening Before Leading.
Meet Hugh
Putting Community First
I'm Hugh Darlington, and I'm running to serve the people of Pennsylvania's 98th District because I believe our communities deserve leadership that listens, serves, and brings people together.
I'm not a career politician. I'm a veteran, arborist, husband, father, and grandfather who has spent most of my life working hard, serving others, and standing up for what's right.
Like many people across our communities, I'm concerned about rising costs, growing division, and whether future generations will have the same opportunities we once did.
I believe government should work for ordinary people again — supporting strong schools, working families, local businesses, agriculture, veterans, and safe communities.
“I believe leadership should lower the temperature, focus on practical solutions, and put people before politics.”
