Dallas Kephart is a multi generational Pennsylvanian and lifelong resident of Clearfield County, where his family has lived for more than 200 years. He grew up in Decatur Township and graduated from Philipsburg Osceola High School before continuing his education at Lock Haven University, where he graduated magna cum laude and from the honors program.

During his undergraduate years, Dallas interned for Congressman Glenn “GT” Thompson and spent his summers working in the coal industry—operating heavy equipment in strip mining and assisting at a local processing plant. These experiences gave him firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities facing Pennsylvania’s working families.

Dallas went on to earn his law degree from Penn State Law. While there, he provided legal services to startup and early stage businesses and served as a law clerk to the United States House of Representatives Oversight Committee.

After graduating, Dallas became a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania and worked for a judge on the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, one of the state’s two intermediate appellate courts that hears government related matters from across the Commonwealth.

Today, Dallas is a tireless champion of fiscal responsibility and transparency. His legislative priorities include fostering an economic environment that encourages job creation and growth, defending both the Pennsylvania and United States Constitutions, and delivering top quality constituent services to the people he represents.

In the Legislature, Dallas has established himself as a policy leader on energy, tax and fiscal matters, and constitutional issues. He currently serves on the Energy; Environmental and Natural Resource Protection; Finance; Gaming Oversight; and Government Oversight committees.
