A CHANGE WE NEED
A VOICE WE DESERVE
Forged from the tough and resilient attitude that is the hallmark of people from southwestern Pennsylvania, Al Buchtan has lived the classic American Dream success story.
A lifelong resident of this Senate district, Al hails from very humble beginnings: living in a single-wide mobile home with six siblings. His father, Emil, was a coal miner, and his mother, Diane, tended bar.
Al witnessed firsthand how hard his parents worked to make ends meet and learned his first life lesson: “Work hard for what you have.” This has stayed with him throughout his life.
