The district includes all of Centre, Mifflin and Juniata Counties and portions of Huntingdon County, and includes State College, home of Penn State. PersonalCorman is a graduate of Bellefonte Area High School, the Pennsylvania College of Technology where he earned an associate degree in Communications and The Pennsylvania State University where he received a BA degree in Journalism. He was State Director for Central Pennsylvania for United States Senator Rick Santorum from 1994 through 1998.[1] He was Field Service Director for the Pennsylvania Builders Association from 1993 through 1994.[1] CareerIn 1998, Corman's father, Doyle Corman, a Pennsylvania State Senator for 21 years, announced his retirement from the Senate. Corman announced that he would run for his father's seat. Corman prevailed in a three-way GOP primary and went on to defeat Democrat Scott Conklin (now a member Pennsylvania House of Representatives) in the general election. In 2002, Corman was re-elected with over 92% of the vote, facing only minimal opposition from a Libertarian Party candidate.[2] In 2006, Corman defeated Democrat Jon Eich, Robert J. Cash, and Libertarian Thomas Martin with 56% of the vote.[3] After the leadership shakeup following the 2006 elections, Corman bid for the position of Senate Majority Leader, but was edged out by Dominic Pileggi [4] and was ultimately elected as the Majority Policy Chairman, succeeding Joe Scarnati. In early 2008, there was speculation that Corman would make a run for the U.S. House seat being vacated by John E. Peterson; however Corman declined to run.[5] In November 2008, Corman was elected by his caucus to serve as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Pennsylvania Report named him to the 2009 "The Pennsylvania Report 100" list of influential figures in Pennsylvania politics and called him of the state's "rising stars."[6] In 2010, Corman again defeated Democrat Jon Eich for re-election garnering 69.4% of the vote.[7] In 2014 and 2016, Corman was unopposed for re-election.[8] In 2018, he again won re-election after defeating Democrat Ezra Nanes by more than 10,500 votes.[9] In November 2014, Corman was elected by his caucus to serve in the position of Senate Majority Leader for the 2015-2016 legislative session.[10] He continues to serve the Republican caucus in that capacity. Political PositionsSenator Corman has been a leader in addressing issues greatly impacting the Commonwealth. In 2017, Senator Corman prime sponsored Senate Bill 1, legislation to overhaul and modernize Pennsylvania’s pension system and limit future financial risks for taxpayers. Act 5 has been hailed nationally as “one of the most comprehensive and impactful reforms any state has implemented” and a catalyst for the “biggest turnaround in contribution adequacy nationwide.”[11] In 2013, Senator Corman introduced and pressed for passage of the Endowment Act, which reversed NCAA sanctions against Penn State and directed $60 million to be used in Pennsylvania to help victims of child sexual abuse. To date, the act has served to directly impact tens of thousands children and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. These efforts also included the establishment of programs to bring sex abuse education training to elementary schools across the Commonwealth.[12] The state’s largest transportation investment in Commonwealth history also was introduced by Senator Corman and guided to passage in 2013. The legislation’s impact reached every resident of the Commonwealth, enabling the state to repair and replace unsafe roads and aging bridges as well as undertake construction projects in congested areas and improve ports, rail lines and mass transit systems. Corman recently joined PA Governor Tom Wolf to announce that money from this effort would be used to invest in Central Pennsylvania by connecting the corridor between Seven Mountains and State College.[13] Corman strongly supported creating Pennsylvania's medical marijuana industry, calling it a historic day for the state where one of his colleagues changed minds about marijuana one vote at a time. He gave a heartfelt speech on the Senator floor prior to casting a vote to open the state to medical marijuana.[14] Corman is against the legalization of cannabis in Pennsylvania. He stated that: "I will do everything in my power to prevent legalization of recreational marijuana."[15] He has indicated that it's a larger policy discussion, likening the move to the state's process to legalize gambling, which took years.[16] In 2018, Senator Corman introduced a bill that would become the Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law (Senate Bill 1090) – a comprehensive plan to strengthen anti-hazing laws nationwide by emphasizing prevention, enforcement and transparency. It was signed into law later that year as Act 80. The law increases penalties for those involved in hazing; requires schools to have policies and reporting procedures in place to stop hazing; ensures that parents and students are provided with information related to the issue; and creates safe harbor provisions so students know they can call for help without fear of prosecution.[17] As part of the 2018-19 budget process, Corman highlighted that school safety funding was the Senate Republican Caucus's "number one priority" in the budget. In the end, $70 million in funding was included in the budget for schools to improve safety for students with a committee being established within the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to assess the needs of each district that applies for funding.[18] References1. ^1 {{cite web| title = Project Vote Smart - Senator Jacob Doyle 'Jake' Corman, III (PA)| work = Project Vote Smart| publisher = | url = http://www.votesmart.org/bio.php?can_id=23839}} 2. ^Pennsylvania Department of State, Election Returns, 11/5/2002 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515034232/http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=13&ElectionID=7&OfficeID=12 |date=2008-05-15 }} 3. ^Pennsylvania Department of State, Election Returns, 11/7/2006 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080529013727/http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=13&ElectionID=24&OfficeID=12 |date=2008-05-29 }} 4. ^{{cite web| last = Neri| first = Al| authorlink = Albert J.
